>the only thing in which it was better was coverage
That's exactly why I'm interested in it. If you had to cover someone from head to toe in flak armour, then how would you go around it? Mind you, it should be light and easy to move around, but you still have to protect the neck and the legs. And you have to cover the front and the back equally, because it's useless if the wearer lies down to the ground only to be ripped apart by airbursting HE.
