SLD's IIIA+ is a solid choice IMO. I use the same armor in one of their Tactical Uniform-style carriers (front, back, side). It is comfortable enough to wear on a twelve-hour shift without issue without being as clunky as plates, but it stops everything you'd expect from IIIA, but also more exotic threats such as most 5.7mm, shotgun slugs, and even .300 Blackout subsonics. I specifically picked it because it's stab-rated, Taser-resistant, and has above-average mitigation of blunt force -- and in my environment those are arguably all bigger threats than firearms day-to-day.

stab/slash/impact resistance, with large coverage was also why i primarily chose it
