Moved down south about 1.5 years ago and now am a member of my local FD TEMs team. We operate with city SWAT as well as some other entities.
We are never supposed to be across phase line yellow during an active situation.
We would either be in an armored vehicle or sprinter van.
I have a Point Blank Plate Carrier, need plates. Leaning towards Hesco 4401. I know they are heavy but I won't be wearing them much or for long duration. I wouldn't be opposed to using the armor at a class in the future. As far as helmet goes, Galvion Viper A3 HighCut in case we integrate coms in the future.
Looking for feedback on both. Not opposed to buying a new carrier either.
