For my weesatch, I used acrylic type sheets of plastic to take place of the plates. Ridged and flexible. A bunch of us are running the Flyye gear weesatch.

I have used sheets of cardboard to eliminate flop but they tend to go soft after a little while and would suck if they got wet.

Cut them to fit and they maintain the shape but flexible enough to bend. I need to radius the corners better so they don't slowly cut away at the rig. Also will eventually be drilling some 1" holes to allow better heat transfer and to make it a hair more flexible.

I have also contemplated lining the inner side with neoprene but will also have to cut holes to match my plates.

Personally, I hate how bulky sapi plates make the rig feel and look. (My Voodoo Tactical molle plate carrier is also way too thick without plates)The plastic sheets and neoprene would be no more than 1/4" thick and is very light weight.
