Why would you want to recurve the plates?

Wearing plates w/o soft body armor is stupid!

Just gives you a false sense of protection/security. Seen some penetration test done on plates alone, w/o the soft body armor.

The individual would have still been seriously injured.

All these companies selling plate carriers are just that..."Plate Carriers"! Made to be worn over soft body armor to provide additional protection to existing armor being worn.
