New body armor options for soldiers

Just thought I would share some 2013 body armor tech:
DKX has some level 3 rifle plates that weight 2.9lbs and are buoyant. They're made from HDPE (Dyneema).

Oh, and if anyone has some PCs that need armor on the cheap for a modern game, they can get Steel level 3 Rifle Plate that weighs around 8lbs and only cost about $85. You can buy a cheap plate carrier for <$100 too.
