The Oblivion Kit

A full-sized carrier like the Testudo is ideal for most missions at hand, but other times, special mission requirements force you to have a carrier like the Invictus Gen 1 plate carrier from Armored Republic that is not only tough as nails but also a nimble and low-profile for vehicle-based and CQB operations. The Invictus Gen 1 has been jump-tested by US Special Operations personnel, where it demonstrated its ability to provide high mobility without sacrificing protection and comfort for the wearer. It accepts all 10? x 12? plates and is laser-cut from laminated Nylon. The Hypalon? shoulder straps and pull tabs, meanwhile, are low profile and secure. Cut from the same laminated Nylon, the cummerbund gives you a customized fit and can also accommodate our padded side plate pouches . Finally, both the plate carrier and cummerbund feature generous PALS webbing for all MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories – giving you extra space to let you keep extra magazines, a medical kit, or a general access pouch close at hand.

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) protection rating for level 3 body armor is 6x shots of 7.62x51mm @ 2,780 FPS from 51′ away. Some level III plates are considered special threat plates in that in addition to this they will address other common threats. For example, our level 3 Heritage Plate will stop 5.56×45 M855 “green tips” @ 2,750 FPS from a 16″ barrel, while our P2 plates will stop 5.56×45 M193 Ball @ 3,200 FPS. The Multi-Rifle Magazine Pouches from Armored Republic accommodate all common rifle magazines in a single, double, or triple magazine pouch, and are capable of accommodating magazines such as 5.56×45 (.223), 7.62×39 AK, or 7.62×51 NATO (.308 Winchester). Secure yet accessible magazine storage Each section can accommodate up to two small rifle magazines or one large rifle magazine. Front-mounted elastic tabs add versatility and additional mounting points for 12-gauge shotgun shells, tourniquets, chem-lights, or other horizontally mounted accessories. Pouches are constructed from genuine 500D Cordura nylon, and retention flaps feature an easy-to-grip Hypalon® pull tab. The removable retention strap allows you to adjust magazine capacity, size, and retention or remove it entirely to run an opened-top configuration. Each trauma pad is specially engineered to mitigate blunt force trauma in case your armor takes a round and reduces the amount of back face deformation that could occur, which can mitigate the risk of injury after impact. Designed to be worn in conjunction with and behind your body armor, our Trauma Pads reduce the amount of energy transferred to your body, reducing felt energy through your armor. Compatible with body armor from Armored Republic and most other armor systems and plate carriers. Trauma pads are non-ballistic and offer no increase in ballistic protection.
