The New Testudo Gen 3 Body Armor Plate Carrier, Now in SIX Colors The new generation of our most popular carrier. Comes with cummerbund + the new Quick Detach System. Custom, adjustable fit. On in seconds, off in seconds. Padded design to mute blunt impact + increase comfort. Built-in side plate pouches, kangaroo pouch, admin pouch. Size Guide for Optimal Fit and Coverage Get size Medium if you wear a Small to Large sized shirt, Large for XL to XXL frames or if you are taller than 6’2″ and utilize 11×14″ plates. The cummerbund fits Armored Republic 6×6″ Side Plates. It will not hold 6×8″ Side Plates. Enhanced Quick-Detach System for Rapid Adjustability The Testudo design is the carrier of choice for a massive coalition of Free Men. Now, we are honored to present its best and newest model, the Gen 3, featuring the Quick-Detach Buckle System. A cummerbund is great for its precise adjustability; pull it tight to fit you exactly. The downside is that it takes a bit longer to take it off. The QDS fixes that. Pull a cord away from you and the carrier will open on that side for quick removal. Superior Comfort with Padded Design and Adjustable Fit The Testudo Gen 3 is made mostly of 500D Nylon, with bar tacks reinforcing all stress points and PALS webbing covering the outside. MOLLE-compatible webbing for pouches, holsters, and accessories. The generous padding also prevents chafing, making for an armor setup that’s easy to wear for long periods of time. The adjustable shoulder straps, made of nylon, also help you fit the carrier as the low offset makes the rear plate pocket ride at the proper height. The JN I (John 1) is a modular chest rig . Its MOLLE front and wings carry any pouch combo, an oyster for the user’s wildest imaginations. The Chest Rig by Armored Republic is designed to be usable in two different ways: Independent from an armor carrier or in addition to one. With the included H harness, the Chest Rig comes ready to use as its own setup – a platform for carrying front-line gear in front of you, similar to the Battle Belt, a likely compliment to the Chest Rig. But the Chest Rig also already includes what’s needed to mount to most carriers: The featured swift clips attach to your carrier and function as a boost to your customizability. Instead of switching each individual magazine, medical kit, or other tools, use a setup already put on your Chest Rig. Unlike most rigs on the market, Armored Republic’s design also incorporates 3 rows of MOLLE webbing on the external so you can mount additional pouches for customization. One benefit of this is the included MOLLE extension wings that accommodate additional pouch mounting. Wings allow the mounting of pouches to the left and right of the Chest Rig and are removable when not in use. Another feature is the removable hook cover on the back of the Chest Rig. This Velcro backside cover is used to prevent snagging on t-shirts, and when removed, allows securement to a carrier without a cummerbund flap.
