yea, ive heard the dragon skin debate a few times in the past. I like how it can take multiple hits, whereas our sapi plates take one and crack... But I heard for us Army at least they stuck with the IOTV due to the dragon skin being like 5-7 lbs more. Your vest is even suppossed to be better than ours. Hell our IOTV is already 50some lbs, who cares about 5 more. I dont carry ammo on my vest just a gerber, seatbelt cutter, IFAK, laser, and gauges for my M2. I stay in the truck with the crew serve, but if i ever dismount id grab 2 saw porkchop bandoliers i keep stored by me.
