*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.

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.

Love wearing it while I'm larping around in my living room while wearing chonies. Keeps me light like a feather.

Received my Fortis III+ RF1/multi curve plates, very fast shipping, very light plates... probably the lightest III+ stand alone plates on the market as far as I have seen. One had a small blem on the side but overall nice plates, good quality. Very tight fit in my Chase Tactical carrier... slid right in the Condor Cyclone. Measured dead on 10x12. All in all very pleased with the purchase.

Lightweight and quality product. Hope to never have to use it.

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!
