Freeman Armor Bundle

The Pareto Principle says that 80% of the benefit from something can come from 20% of the effort. The Freeman carrier applies that rule to body armor: Most of a larger carrier’s protection without the weight or hassle.

AR500 Armor’s Freeman is a unique carrier for its small size- made specially for the included Octagonal 9x9 plates, it covers your vitals while being easy to transport and easy to wear. The carrier’s material consists of a Cordura® front and a 500D Nylon Cordura back. Also, using the laser-cut PALS system, it is capable of accommodating up to 3 magazine pouches. Thin but durable and comfortable Hypalon® straps contribute to its low profile. 

The accompanying 9x9 A2 Plates stop .308, M855, and M193 and weigh just 4.25 pounds. They can be dropped and shot and still keep their power. They resist backface deformation. These plates also come curved so they fit better on your chest.

Each plate’s FragLock coating™ keeps a bullet’s fragments from hitting you after impact, with the base coat capturing or deflecting those fragments away.

The Trauma Pads go behind the A2 Plates to mute the kinetic energy of incoming rounds. They are made of a non-newtonian material that resists compression when force is applied directly.
