Rating & Testing

The Fortis IV plate is rated Level IV. To learn more about the NIJ body armor standards, read our Understanding Body Armor Ratings article.

*Note: In the penetration column, "P" stands for partial penetration, meaning the bullet was captured by the armor and did not fully pass through. This is a successful result. A failure would be marked as "C" or "CP" for complete penetration, indicating the bullet fully passed through the armor.

Excellent Quality

The plates felt very quality. The shipping went well and they were really well protected in the box. They fit my plate carrier perfectly and felt super comfortable.

Fortis is Solid and checks the needed boxes

The Fortis is a solid carrier that fits comfortably. I purchased the kit with composite armor. It's a great value. This is another great product from Premier Body Armor.

Best body-armor on the market, hands down

I was on the market for some body armor because I work as a range safety officer at a local range, the fortis carrier and the 2 level 4 plates I got to go with it not only make me feel secure, but also don’t break the bank, I look forward to trying out other armor and accessories from Premier!
