Description
Reliable Protection and Tactical Versatility
The Testudo Gen 2 is a fan favorite, offering unparalleled versatility and comfort for those who demand the best. With its fully adjustable cummerbund, the Testudo ensures a precise, custom fit while accommodating side plate pockets for added protection. Constructed primarily from 500D Nylon, reinforced with bar tacks, and featuring PALS webbing, this carrier is compatible with MOLLE accessories for maximum gear organization. Generous mesh padding on the plate pockets and shoulders ensures comfort during extended wear.
The Triple Rifle Magazine Pouch lets you carry all common rifle magazines, including 5.56×45 (.223), 7.62×39 AK, or 7.62×51 NATO (.308 Winchester). The Kangaroo Pouch Insert offers additional magazine storage while converting your carrier?s kangaroo pocket into a waterproof, zippered enclosure for easy access and protection against moisture.
This setup provides comprehensive compatibility with 11? x 14? plates and smaller, ensuring both comfort and coverage. Whether you?re running single, double, or triple magazine configurations, the Testudo Gen 2 delivers unmatched versatility and reliability.
Armor Upgrade Package
Take advantage of a limited-time $150 armor upgrade (a $300 value) featuring:
- 2x Heritage 10×12 Armor Plates: Durable and capable of withstanding multiple direct hits, rated Level III against threats like 7.62×51 M80 NATO Ball and special threats like 5.56mm M855/SS109 Green Tip.
- 2x Trauma Pad+: Incorporating DARKMATTER Energy dispersal gel foam to mitigate Back Face Deformation (BFD), ensuring enhanced protection and safety under extreme conditions.
Durable and Functional Design
The Testudo Gen 2?s thoughtful design includes front-mounted elastic tabs for additional accessories like shotgun shells, tourniquets, or chem-lights. Easy-to-grip Hypalon? pull tabs on retention flaps allow for quick adjustments, while removable retention straps provide flexibility for open-top configurations.
With its rugged construction, innovative features, and ability to keep you comfortable during long periods of wear, the Testudo Gen 2 is the ultimate solution for carrying your best armor and gear.
