Current requirements for hdpe thicknesses

[maddox10]

Equinox can dig trough 10mm without breaking a sweat.

I would say, 20mm sides at least, lid and top 8mm.

But then you're getting in Hardox weightrange (25mm HDPE=3.2mm Hardox450), and good angled Hardox is better armor than HDPE in any thickness.

But hardox will get a bit mangled, and if its a welded shell chances are it'll get distorted - Hdpe will keep the shape better I think...

I'm in the same dilemma on what armor to go for, hardox, titanium or hdpe.
I'm siding more with Titanium and Hdpe rather than hardox mainly because of weight concerns.
For 3.2mm hardox I can get 6mm of titanium or 25mm of hdpe so I'm inclined to use titanium for the front ( thinking it will be more rigid than hardox ) and hdpe sides....I could be wrong tho
