    I am ready for incoming fire....
    Well, honestly, some people are preparing for a day and time where ordering more gear will not be a possibility. Steel can take multiple hits. Most ceramic is combat ineffective after the first hit. Also, ceramic plates shatter if you drop them at the right angle, which is a lot easier than you think. For effectiveness and duration, I personally would, and have, chosen steel.

    I agree, ceramic plates are all of the above. I forgot to mention that I also have steel plates and plan on getting speed plates as well. Load out mission specific.
