More PASGT

The PASGT vest is NIJ II or IIA depending on the exact place it's hit.

That gives us DR of 9 or 10.

Because it's flexible armor, that means DR 9/5* or 10/5*.  Higher value against cutting and piercing.

I'll be generous and call it 10/5*.

My size large example tips the scales at 10.1 lb.

One of these protected me from both hatch coamings and a spent .50 Cal AP round.

Obviously, DR 10/5* is not really intended to stop bullets, but these things have been known to stop 9mm.
