I called pinnacle a few months ago and I believe they said that the weight of the full torso wrap armor was 35 pounds if memory serves. Note that I believe the full torso wrap covers more than front back and side sapi plates. And no I have not worn any body armor.
I have read that scalar armor is more comfortable I don't know of course. I am not backing any horse in any race, I really am interested in the new technology, and I am interested in the procurement process. When I talked with allan bain he seemed to really think that scalar armor is the future and I suggested pouches for each disc so there is no glue to fail and cause slippage he said it would work but the manufacturing would be a nightmare. So maybe they are just a sewing breakthrough away from something more comfortable and safer. Speaking to weight I read the other day that there was a commander in the middle east asking for permission to let his soldiers not wear the side plates to increase comfort and descrease weight because the region they were working in was relatively passive. Maybe this is evidence of a the need for a certain tool for a certain job?

Again I knowing people have a more informed view of the equiptment than I do. Maybe one of the soldiers tried on some dragon skin before it was banned from use?
