I have ordered from SecurityPro in the past. Read up on NIJ ratings and decide if you want level III soft armor or level IV plates. Steel plates can spall and fling fragments into your face. Ceramics not so much. Read about the pros and cons of each. Decide if you want a carrier you can throw on super quickly or if you want something beefier that takes a moment to strap on.
Whatever you get. Keep it clean and practice wearing it. Work out in it. Shoot in it. Move around in it. And practice putting it on quickly.
