First time buyer...won't be the last!

I was a little hesitant to purchase my first set of plates and carrier, as I expected them to be quite expensive. I was very happy to find that Premier Body Armor provided excellent protection at a very affordable price. I've done a lot of research on plates and carriers, and Premier consistently receives high marks for their quality and affordability. I was so happy with my carrier, that I immediately purchased the shirt and backpack. I eventually plan to purchase carriers and plates for my entire family.

Fortis III+

I was looking for a top quality, lightweight set of plates. I was using Level IVs but those were too cumbersome. I found precisely what I had in mind.

Rugged, solid yet lightweight. All the protection I want and the mobility to perform.

Great price. Super fast delivery. These plates are what you want!

Fortis III+/RF1 Plates

I was looking for plates lighter than AR550 with similar protection. I have had these for several weeks now and wore them several times for four to five hours each time. I immediately noticed the reduction in weight and reduced fatigue. I trained this weekend with both primary and secondary weapons while wearing these in my carrier. I found I was able to maneuver much easier and faster than with steel. I was concerned the thickness would be an issue, but that was not the case. These plates will protect against M193 though not M855, but I find the weight reduction does justify the use of them. Due to the affordability and reduced weight, I would recommend trying a set of these.

Got it covered...

This is my second set of these plates, and I am now covered for two separate locations without the hassle of transporting vest with other gear back and forth. They fit the vest perfectly and are a fatigue relief weight wise for those long days. Based on my needs I highly recommend Premier Body Armor.
