Description
In 36 BC, the historian Plutarch gave the first description of the Roman Army’s formidable Testudo formation. It consisted of a group of soldiers tightly packed, with shields held in front and above, so that nothing could penetrate the advancing unit. The Testudo Carrier applies that approach to personal protection: Having formidable protection by maximizing coverage. Now you can customize that approach to make for your ideal setup.Included are some of our most popular and reliable products:The Testudo Gen 2.0 Plate Carrier is an armor carrier that maximizes coverage and comfort.For coverage, this Testudo 2.0 Plate Carrier is able to hold the biggest size the industry offers (11”x14”) as well as the more common 10”x12”. For comfort, generous padding prevents chafing and a fully adjustable cummerbund and shoulder straps let you choose the ideal fit. This adjustability makes the Testudo more than a “one-size-fits-all” solution since the size itself can be changed to best suit you.The Testudo also has plenty of PALS webbing for attaching your MOLLE-compatible pouches, holsters, and accessories. On the PALS is an application of Velcro, offering superior versatility for placement of medical kits, or other patches or gear.The Level III+ ASC Steel Plate uses our exclusive Advanced Shooters Cut in tandem with other design elements to get even more utility: An ergonomic multi-curve shape, lighter weight, and special-threat resistance. That alongside the existing benefits of FragLock™ and edge-to-edge multi-hit protection. As a Level III+ plate, it goes beyond the Level III standard protective capabilities, being able to stop rounds such as the M855 Green Tip. The included Trauma Pads work in tandem with the plates to prevent blunt force trauma from the bullet’s impact when the plate stops penetration.The Hard Side Plates are there for you when you’re exposed on multiple sides and need the higher coverage: Made for any standard cummerbund side plate pockets, this steel armor provides rifle-rated multi-hit protection.Available in four sizes and colors, the AR Battle Belt is made to be reconfigured to best fit your present needs: For everyday usage, the simple waist belt configuration may be best. If you work with first-line gear always at hand, the duty belt setup might suit you more. If you’re looking to make a decked-out war loadout, the war belt option is ideal. All options are available with just a few adjustments. The Battle Belt’s primary material is Cordura® nylon, while each part is securely attached with Velcro® and durable ITW-Nexus buckles are used for each part of the belt. Additionally, the Outer Belt features a generous covering of PALS webbing for compatibility with MOLLE gear.Included in Bundle:1 x AR500 Armor® Testudo™ Plate Carrier - Gen 22 x Level III+ Lightweight 10" x 12" FULL Multi-Curve, Base Coat Plates2 x AR500 Armor® Blunt Force Trauma Pad - 10" x 12"2 x Level III 6" x 8" Multi-Curve, Base Coat Side Plates1 x AR Battle Belt*If updated to 11x14 sized plates the cut is ALSC (Advanced Lightweight Shooters Cut)
