    Rating & Testing

    NIJ STANDARD TEST ROUNDS

    Round Velocity (ft/s)
    7.62×51mm M80 FMJ ~2,780 ft/s
    7.62×39mm MSC (Type 56 Steel Jacketed Core) ~2,400 ft/s
    5.56×45mm M193 FMJ ~3,250 ft/s

    In addition to stopping penetration, the armor must limit backface deformation to 44mm to reduce blunt force trauma.

    OFFICIAL TEST REPORT

    Want to see the full test report? Download the test document below:

    *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.

    FAQ

    Is body armor legal?

    Body armor is legal to own in all 50 states (but we can not ship it to the state of Connecticut or New York).

    What if I'm between sizes? Or on the border for the next size up?

    This carrier is one size fits most. 

    Does the Fortis Alpha Carrier have side protection?

    The carrier alone does not provide any ballistic protection.

    Where do I put the rifle-rated plates?

    There is a pocket at the bottom of the front and back of the vest to insert your plates.

    Can I wash my vest?

    The outer carrier is machine washable. Simply remove any plates, then we recommend washing the carrier on gentle. Lay the carrier flat to dry.

    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.

    Awesome!!!!!

    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.

    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!
