I dunno, talked with my son last weekend. One of his buds took a sniper round in the chest. SAPI plate stopped it cold, knocked him on his ass mind you, but he lived thru it.
Could they wear more, maybe. WOULD they wear more? Likely not.
I have seen several cases where soldiers have died because they left out their back plate to save on weight.

I trust the armor, love it. I hate the unpatriotic idiots who say it's poor leadership that anyone died.
