Description

The Independence Kit fits multiple use cases: concealed, semi-concealed, or overt load-bearing setups. Combat-ready. Part of the Independence Campaign.

The Invictus Gen 2 takes the minimalism of the Gen 1 & enhances further. 

  • Our most low-vis plate carrier option. 
  • Facing the outside: 500D Cordura for strength. Facing the user: DuraStretch for comfort. 
  • Laser-cut MOLLE on a Velcro loop field. 
  • QDS buckles with a MOLLE cummerbund; elastic in the back for adjustable tightness. 
  • Shoulder straps & pull tabs: Made of a Hypalon, which is both sleek and incredibly durable. 

The A2 Armor Plates (two included) stop the following threats: 

  • 5.56×45 M193 and 5.56×45 M855/SS109 at 2,900 FPS. 
  • AK-47 rounds (7.62×39) and .308 (7.62×51 M80 NATO Ball) at 2,850 FPS. 

Further benefits of the A2 plate: 

  • Custom alloy blend: no other supplier has optimized their steel for armor strength like we have. 
  • Exclusive FragLock™ Base Coating: deflects fragmentation away from the user.  
  • Durable: can take an enormous beating and still keep working. 
  • 20-year shelf life. 

Our pouches are also made with 500D Cordura. The Multi-Caliber Rifle Magazine Pouch holds magazines such as 5.56×45 (.223) and 7.62×39 AK. You get you get three of these pouches in American Multicam. Each can hold one or two magazines for a total of a six magazines capacity.
