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!

Bought for fun

Bought a few plates to do some testing with reloaded ammo, and they held up better than expected. Will definitely be buying again.
