Testudo Lite PE Bundle
“Move or die is the language of our Maker in the constitution of our bodies.” - John Adams
With a lightweight tactical kit, you have more stamina to get through the day and more power to be active in a gunfight—invaluable assets in real-world combat.
This loadout equips you with our lightest high-power armor. The rifle-rated, buoyant-neutral P2 is just 3.3 pounds a plate. Get two of them with the Testudo Lite carrier, a slimmer Testudo carrier with all the same assets except for the extra user-side padding.
Included in Bundle
- 1 x Black Testudo Lite Plate Carrier
- 2 x P2 Plates - 10" x 12"
The P2 Plate is made with the lightest hard armor type on the market. The P2, due to its low weight (3.3 pounds) and buoyant qualities, provides high-grade protection that won’t fatigue you when you’re active and won’t endanger you when you’re near water. Tested independently to NIJ Level III standards, this polyethylene plate is capable of stopping the 7.62x51 M80 Ball at 2780 FPS. It has also been tested to stop some special threats; it will defeat 5.56x45 M193 at 3150 FPS and 7.62x39 AK-47 at 2380 FPS.
The primary benefit of the P2, however, is its weight: Only PE hard armor can provide rifle-rated protection at under four pounds. The greater endurance this allows makes polyethylene a popular choice for many military personnel, law enforcement officers, and civilians.
Polyethylene stops threats by capturing incoming bullets within itself. The Polyethylene front softens on first impact, where the bullet is then stopped by the remaining fibers within the plate. As the bullet slows down, the polyethylene then rehardens. Because of this stopping method, polyethylene is able to take multiple hits without shattering.
As with our other hard armor options, the P2 is also sprayed with our FragLock™ solution to seal it from the elements.
The Testudo Lite is a rugged, full-size armor plate carrier that will fit a range of users, adjustable via cummerbund and shoulder straps between T-shirt sizes Medium to XXXL. The design is identical to the Testudo Gen 2 with the exception of the extra mesh padding, which is absent in the Lite version.
