[QUOTE="CASTRATE, post: 2028445, member: 5894"] I run long distance, and always have extra weight with me. I have ran with a 40lb weighted vest for 10 miles a couple of times, but that wasn't very fun. It's all very doable if you put your mind in the right place. I don't have anything that is considered "body armor", but I do have armor plate from my last job where we built armored parts for the M117 APV by Textron Land and Marine. It is by no means light, but it has stopped everything I've fired at it: 5.56 penetrator, 30-30, .243, .270, 7.62x51, .300 ultra mag, .338 win mag and .375 H&H 300 grain hornady DGS. All of this being said, I wouldn't be worried about moving fast do to the fact that my wife is 8 months pregnant, and would travel at her and the baby's pace. I know I can travel fairy quickly for several miles with a decent amount of weight, but we need to think about the less capable ones we would be traveling with. We are only as fast as our slowest person. [/QUOTE]
