Why not have a thin sheet of titanium encased in Dragonskin? Think a modernized version of the Classical Greek Hoplite.

Dragon skin is too heavy. Ask any soldier who has worn a full IBA w/ ESAPI plates. Then add an additional 20 lbs. Then add all your gear. No thanks. not when the ESAPI works just fine (seen 5 hits). That is not even taking into account Dragon Skins plate migration issue when hit at an oblique angle. It’s not about money. Its about the overall pro’s and cons. To be benefitial to the soldier it has to provide the best protection at a weight that is feasable to carry in combat. DS falls short of that. No matter who they whine to or how many TV shows they go on.

One thing the new iotv is shit. It’s heavier than the old iba. It’s not as flexible, not only in the movement aspect but also there are only two ways to set up your pouches. One in which your mags are to high and the other were they are two low. Not to mention if your a SAW gunner or have to carry rounds for the M203. The wires come loose and the thing falls off. The elastic bands wear out and retain heat. Also because they are not costume made the “side plates” leave the same space the old iba did before they were added. Last but not least it takes to long to put on. For once the old was better but they had to change it. Unlike our weapons which they refuse to change

Hey Robert S. Kilborne IV, if you take the time to look at the DS test against the grenade you will see that it is a blue (training grenade), and someone from Pinnacle admitted (on another thread) that they used a pyrotechnic for the “entertainment value” because it was done for the Discovery channel. Look closely at the original video of the grenade test and you will see the blue grenade is still underneath the vest when they first lift it up. I call this false advertising. I would like to see this test repeated with a “real” grenade.
To Chris, if your plates are so bad ass, are you submitting them for ESAPI or XSAPI testing?

I have Met Murray Personally and he is a Wizard of the Body Armor vests. I stress more on the design of the Shell system than the whole Vest.
Dragon Skin is very safe and works but it is highly Costly and not easy to make either. I stand behind both Actually yes the SOV-3000 and the Interceptor why because tell Murray Chris now has the plates I devised a year ago and they are ten times better than the current SAPIS …hell my plates can be made any size and are sealed . They are virutally indestrucatble. MAPA-Modular Armor Plate Attachment. They can take Ten hits 7.62x39 AP rounds at 20 ft in a 6“x6” section …tested NIJ LevelIV last year on much bigger concept and passed with flying colors.

Well everyone I have just perfected the Whole New MAPA Plates and they work vey well..You guys will love this stuff as it is outer attachment form of Protective plate that can be afixed toany OTV and the one your currently wear. May also save lives
in IED explosions and prevent loss of limbs as well if I can gain assitance from the BIG Body Armor companies now. A face shield can also be improvised for the current PASGT Helemt and be capable of drop down or ratched up like a visor .
Already hold Level IV+ with this system so it works. Like to perfect this to Modular outer strap on system much like Lacrosse protection is.
Uses same padding as NFL footballs for impact resistance in massive impact.
