Armored Republic Multi-Hit Ceramic Body Armor Unmatched Level IV Ballistic Protection Maximum Stopping Power for High-Threat Environments: Get the highest level of protection available with the C2 Multi-Hit ceramic body armor from Armored Republic. Engineered to handle multiple armor-piercing (AP) rounds, this Level IV plate is a top choice for military personnel and those facing severe threats. Manufactured entirely in-house in the United States, it combines ceramic and polyethylene materials to deliver industry-leading performance in a standard 10x 12 size. Advanced Multi-Hit Capability Designed to Withstand Repeated Hits: The C2 Multi-Hit plate is built to stop multiple .30 caliber armor-piercing bullets (U.S. Military designation M2 AP) traveling at velocities of up to 2,880 ft/s. While many plates might fail or collapse after a single hit, this plate has been tested to stop up to three successive M2 AP rounds with adequate spacing, providing reliable protection in the most demanding conditions. Innovative Ceramic Technology Impact Absorption and Durability: Ceramic plates work by shattering upon impact, absorbing the bullet’s energy more effectively. However, traditional ceramics can compromise after just one hit. The C2 Multi-Hit uses advanced materials and a refined design to minimize shattering, keeping the plate intact and ready to stop more hits. This improved performance makes it a dependable option for high-risk operations. Lightweight and Compatible Efficient Design with Universal Fit: Despite its high level of protection, the C2 Multi-Hit plate weighs just 7.4 pounds and maintains a thickness of 1 inch, making it lighter than many comparable plates. It fits all standard 10 x 12 carriers, offering easy integration into your existing setup without sacrificing protection or mobility. The Armored Republic Testudo Gen 2 Body Armor Plate Carrier Maximize Coverage and Comfort with the Testudo Gen 2 The Testudo Gen 2 Plate Carrier provides a tight fit and plenty of space for everything you’ll want in a full tactical loadout. It remains a favorite in the industry for its fully adjustable cummerbund, comfortable padding, and a generous amount of PALS webbing for attaching magazines, medical kits, and other accessories. It also features side plate pockets for extra coverage and the ability to carry all standard plate sizes (11″ x 14″ and smaller). Customize Your Testudo Loadout Want customization options? Build your own Testudo bundle . Inspired by the Roman Testudo Formation 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 Gen 2 Carrier takes that vision and applies it to personal body armor: Having formidable protection by maximizing coverage. Built for Durability and Comfort The Testudo is made mostly of 500D Nylon, with bar tacks reinforcing all stress points and PALS webbing covering the outside for attaching your MOLLE-compatible 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. Fully Adjustable Cummerbund for a Custom Fit One of the biggest advantages of the Testudo is its cummerbund: A sash around the lower half of the carrier that both gives you side-plate pockets for extra armor and gives you full adjustability to tighten the carrier to a perfect 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.
