AR500 Armor® Veritas™ Modular Plate Carrier

The AR500 Armor® Veritas™ is our modular plate carrier embodiment fueled by years of feedback and evaluation as a body armor manufacturer. Fusing every desirable feature into a finely crafted, cost effective modular system with no compromise. The result astounded even us. The Veritas™ is one of our signature plate carriers, and with that represents what the AR500 Armor® R&D team, and brand stand for. The Veritas™ by AR500 Armor® is designed to compete, scale, and leave you wanting for nothing.

Accepting 10” x 12” body armor, the Veritas™ Plate Carrier features a minimalistic profile without sacrificing real-estate and is smaller, but more modular, than its larger kin the Testudo™. Intense care was given to material choice in effort to forge a comfortable, ventilated, and lightweight plate carrier. Durable 3D mesh lines both the inner plate pockets with inlayed soft loop Velcro pontoon attachment points. removable mesh padded shoulder pads are included, each featuring tri-loop guides and attachment points. The low-profile emergency drag handle traverses through the entire back half of the plate carrier for increased strength. Broad 2” side buckles secure the adjustable straps, and are user removable for increased comfort when running the Veritas™ cummerbund.

Each row of webbing and all high stress points are Bar-Tack stitch reinforced for durability. All webbing features soft loop for versatility. Dual upper and lower admin pockets provide ample built in storage and scalability for the Veritas™ cummerbund system, and kangaroo pouch. Upper admin pocket features inner elastic divided keepers for gear retention. Easy-to-grip Hypalon pull tabs embrace each pocket for accessibility in all conditions. Generous upper front & rear soft loop Velcro panels easily accommodate patches and large ID panels.

The entire construction is genuine 500D Cordura nylon for the perfect balance of durability and weight reduction. Impact resistant made in the USA buckles reduce failure points in these critical areas where many carriers fail. Front chest rig mounts are compatible with all common chest rig adapters, along with rear vertical load bearing attachment points. Both allowing for upper or lower mounting positions.

Modularity

The Veritas™ Plate Carrier is a modular system and will launch with an optional array of excellent accessories, and more to follow!

Cummerbund System: Our modern cummerbund system uses the latest technology to maintain a reduced profile, durability, and weight savings. Laser cut laminate, Hypalon, and low profile soft loop combined with a cleverly designed cummerbund/admin flap, are the tools used to seamlessly integrate into the Veritas™ plate carrier. All while improving on and retaining original functionality. Vertias Cummerbund

AR500 Armor® Testudo™ Plate Carrier – Gen 2

When experience, persistence, and theory collide, man-made evolution flourishes. The AR500 Armor® Testudo™ plate carrier changes the game once again in its new Generation 2 form. Welcome back Testudo™. The larger companion to our Veritas™ modular plate carrier, we follow suit and stick with our core principals of professional grade armor carriers with unrivaled value and craftsmanship, using superior components. Now marking the second addition to our signature plate carrier line-up. You will not be disappointed.

Unique to the Testudo™, it is capable of accommodating either 10” x 12”, or large 11” X 14” body armor of any type. With a fully adjustable cummerbund and shoulder straps, the Testudo™ is versatile and viable for large or medium body types. Rugged side retention buckles and straps are included. Each side removeable for user adjustable level of retention and comfort, compatible with or without cummerbund installed. We retain a lightweight and durable profile by using genuine 500D Cordura nylon for construction. Strategic lower-offset rear shoulder mounts position the rear plate pocket higher, alleviating the traditional “low hanging” rear plate pocket as seen on carriers that lost sight of proper armor placement. Inner plate retention straps on both pockets further ensure ideal body armor ride height for optimal vital coverage.

3D Mesh Technology dramatically increases ventilation and air-flow for a cooling and comfort improving effect, located on both body facing inner linings, and the removeable shoulder pads. Shoulder pads also feature our tri-loop guides and attachment points. Soft loop Velcro lines all webbed sections for added versatility and mounting options. The heavy duty drag handle is fortified by engaging down the rear portion of the plate carrier. Reinforced Bar-tack, double, and double backed stitching throughout contract durability.

Dual admin pockets increase storage capacity, both featuring Hypalon easy-to-grip pull tabs for reliable access. The upper admin pocket features elastic divider retention straps while the lower is designed to accommodate our improved Kangaroo magazine pouch insert. Impact resistant buckles are manufactured in the USA and add at least four toughness points in critical areas.

The Testudo™ cummerbund front flap boasts generous Hypalon tabs for easy actuation and adjustment. Fully adjustable for girth and larger frames, the cummerbund has been reinforced with Hypalon eyelet pass-throughs and heavy-duty shock cord, allowing optimal expansion and retention when adjusted. Side plate compatible as sold, the built-in cummerbund side plate pouches accept 6 x 6”, or 6” x 8” side plates of any armor type.

Derived from years of customer feedback, experience, and understanding, the Generation 2 Testudo™ is all inclusive and on point, ready to protect the warrior out of the gate. Perfection delivered with no additional accessories required, except armor of course.

For $84??? If it did, I don't think you'd ever want to find out if they worked.

We sincerely apologize for the delay to your order. It is currently in our priority queue, and we are working as quickly as possible to get every order out the door as fast as possible. Unfortunately in the past months we have had a number of things go wrong, from machine breakages, raw materials not being delivered on time, and even a hurricane hitting a container ship that had goods coming from our production facility. We understand that now more than ever the need to protect yourself and your loved ones is in the forefront of everyone's minds, and we assure you that your order will not be skipped. At this time, we are unable to make an accurate estimate of when most orders will ship due to the large number of different items that have been delayed, and the different amount of time that each item has been delayed. We have already quoted you one time frame and missed it, and do not want to keep making promises that we cannot keep. We ask that you please be patient, and will ship your order as soon as we possibly can.

Very Respectfully,

Customer service has greatly improved. Edited prior comment. Will update in a week or two. There is definitely still a good size turnaround time though.

So ended up getting carrier a week after this post. Note that this carrier is on the small side. It covers MOST of your squishy organs...however it does not fit thicker plates very securely as the velcro (spelling?) does not fully wrap around the thicker plates when inserted. Just an FYI.

Very disappointed with this plate carrier and armor, it's really small, I mean like really, really small, like made for a small framed woman or child. It barely fits me even with it adjusted all the way out and the plate only covers like have of each peck. I feel like the guys in tactical training class are going to laugh at me it looks so ridiculous. By the way, I'm 5'6 435lbs.

No offense, but... you should be shopping for a sweatsuit and a bowflex instead of a vest carrier.

I just picked up an AR500 Plate carrier and was torn between the Veritas and Testudo Gen 2 and said f**k it and spent the extra scratch on the Testudo Gen 2 and I’m very happy with my purchase. Either way you can’t go wrong with any of their plate carriers.

A cummerbund is just like this belt/net that wraps around to keep the side straps in and the front and back tight against the body.
It's usually the first part we ripped off in the military but my civilian friends seem to be big fans of it.

I've never used these or any plate carrier besides what was given to me on active duty so I can't have an opinion on them. I suggest deciding if you want body armor that can withstand a 7.62 round, or don't use body armor and keep your agility. Anything in between is a useless compromise, in my opinion.

Ar 500 is good for ak 762, but ak 545 or m4 556 (55gr) may zip right through it if you don't get 3+.

In the military yes but as a civilian the likelihood of getting shot by a rifle round is massively less than pistol. That and soft armor is so light and the vest can carry mags and ammo, I have to disagree with you.

Maybe soft armor for under clothing, etc...

If you're at the point where you NEED to put on a vest like this and needing 'mags & ammo'.... You're probably not the only one with a rifle.

These carriers are nice. Well made and get it done

So would you recommend getting this carrier?

At least with this carrier, the standard buckles have no stretch so running is a little more challenging. I'm a nobody on the internet but I'd recommend it with this carrier.

Anybody with any experience with this rig? I'm just starting to research plate carriers, i'd like to keep costs down, but obviously want something that is comfortable and durable.

I've got one and I jog in it. The mesh backing makes it more comfortable than the PIG but if you intend to be active in it grab the cummerbund too.

Bear in mind this carrier at this price does not come with a cummerbund, if that’s something you think you’d want.

Check out the Condor carriers for good stuff at reasonable prices.

I can't remember what the regular price is supposed to be but I picked this up a couple weeks ago with the double-mag pistol pouch, double-mag rifle pouch, pistol holster and hydration pouch for $100 shipped. From a basic inspection I think it will do well and so far I can recommend the product but I think you may be able to wait for a better price.
