FLASH SALE: Simple Yet Resilient Carrier + Discounted Armor

Liberty. Strength. Fortitude. The Testudo Lite is built to give you the benefits of the innovative Testudo cummerbund while trimming the webbing to make the carrier lighter and sleeker. The cummerbund gives a customizable fit with side plate accommodation while the low-profile frame emphasizes the mobility that’s more than desirable in combat situations. And for a limited time, add Heritage, A1, or A2 plates at steep discounts for a full carrier + armor combo.

    $95.00

    Named after the Roman army’s defensive formation, the Testudo Lite is a slimmed-down version of our Testudo while still providing you with the maximum coverage our Testudo is known for.

    The Testudo Lite Plate Carrier grants maximum coverage while shaving off the bulk of the Testudo Gen 2.0 by trimming the padding of the traditional design; like its alternative, it features a fully adjustable cummerbund and shoulder straps, making it more than a “one-size-fits-all” solution. It also still features ample webbing for attaching your MOLLE-compatible pouches.

    The Testudo Lite still accommodates 10”x12” or 11”x14” body armor of any type. Its fully-adjustable cummerbund and shoulder straps are still versatile enough for large or medium body types, with enough MOLLE webbing to attach all your pouches and mission-critical gear.

    Even so, the Testudo Lite weighs a pound less than its alternative by eliminating the bulk and weight of the padding and 3D mesh, the Velcro on the PALS webbing, and removing the side waist straps and buckles (meaning it can only be used with the cummerbund).

    But don’t stop at just the carrier: As part of our 10 Year Anniversary celebration, you can get our Heritage, A1, or A2 plates all at a steep discount. Each one features monolithic steel with a FragLock™ coating, giving you thin body armor with high multi-hit stopping power and frag resistance. The Heritage is a reliable rifle-rated plate that has equipped thousands of Free Men to defend their God-given rights; the A1 has very high stopping power, being tested to an III+ rating and stopping high-velocity penetrator rounds, and the A2 is very light at just 5.5 pounds while keeping much of that same stopping power.
