Our armor ballistic core performance and balance of achieving multi-hit performance within its designated threat level; rounds exceeding the armors limitations and threat level or extreme multi-hit scenarios may cause the armor to crack upon impact. This result is normal and significantly reduces the rounds velocity, if not completely defeating, opposed to through and through penetration. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Great video
Easy-peezy, lemon-squeezy..
Thanks for the heads up!
Recently ordered & awaiting the Gen 2 Testudo, w/ the 11x14s. This tip is quite timely for me..
Thanks!🇺🇸
I have 11x14s in my Testudo, I used the retaining straps. Sometime redundancy is a welcome addition.
The only issue I have is I think I overestimated my frame size, and I should've gone with 10x12s and a smaller carrier. But thats my fault, and I think more armour isn't really a bad thing.
I have had the 11x14's since the tustedo 2.0 came out and I still look like I shopped at the baby gap! But I'm 7'2... So yeah, they're awesome on me!
Good luck on the wait times those who don't have theirs already. My suggestion, while you wait for your order, go fill out your tax stamp for a can.
Be smart and get some training!
How tall, wide are you? I'm thinking about the 11x14 also, but don't want it to be too big either. I'm 5'8" chest is about 42". Thanks in advance.
@@PivotFirearms I'm 5'6". I dont know my chest size, but a XL is uncomfortable but doable, XXL is comfortable for shirt sizes.
I thought I was kinda broad, but maybe I'm not.lol I'm certainly overweight, but not enough for 11x14s to be optimal, it would seem.
I'm 7' 2" and 250 pounds. Built like a in shape basketball player but old! Lol
Just get the 10x12. You don't need the big ones.
@@ftcentrepreneur it was a rushed decision. I wasnt sure what I needed, and I figured more armour was better given the choices.lol
Imma put a veritas carrier and 10x12 plates on order, but my armour took months to shop up last time. I'm sure the wait time hasnt improved, but demand is still high.
We need more 11x14 carriers guys! Your Veritas looks like a Freeman on me 😣🤣
How tall are you?
I run the 11x14's and I still look like I shop at the baby gap! Lol
But I'm 7'2, so... Lol
@@ftcentrepreneur oh yeah lol definitely at 7'2🤣
@@ravenboy300 6'4. The 10x12s fit 4-5" above my navel, also feel wicked narrow. When these other plates come in I am making a vid💪🏻
@ftcentrepreneur - LMAO 😂 👍🏼
Ordered one in march. Still waiting on it ...........
You could order AR500 brand through LAPG.com... yes it costs a little more and u can select next day delivery for $36 (my life is worth it) or maybe u only rock compressed gauze in YOUR IFAK too. Try cutting a fat hog in the ass and all u end up is in the mud. Don’t be cheap hoss. This stuff’ll save your ass. See u on the battlefield brother.👍👍😁🇺🇸
I have the 11x14 plates that I purchased a few years back when when the only carrier that you had was the Condor, now here is my question will the AR500 Armor® Testudo™ Plate Carrier - Gen 2 work on a BIG GUY like my Self that wears a 3XL-4XL Shirt? I see that the AR500 Armor® Testudo™ Plate Carrier - Gen 2 is more Advanced than the Condor and seems to be better made!
I see it's been a month but the testudo gen 2 fits me and I'm probly slightly bigger than a 4x
What would be the benefits of running such a large plate over smaller more conventional ones (other than protection)?
Wont it interfere with bending, running andnso on?
I'm fairly tall (6 1) and 177lbs and i'm wondering whether to go with these larger olates or with more conventional 10*12
The larger plates are primarily for people with larger frames. The 10x12 plates fit me just fine but I have a friend that they look absolutely tiny on. One other thing that I was considering doing was running a 10x12 up front and an 11x14 on back. Though I don't know how comfortable it would be with the weight difference between the 2 different sized plates, especially considering that I am currently running their 10x12 lightweight plates at 6.5 lbs. each and the 11x14's are nearly double that weight at 11 lbs. And AR500 currently doesn't offer a LW version of their 11x14 plates.
I'm 6'3" with a 50" chest and the 10x12 plates don't cover all of my vitals.
If the 10x12 covers your vitals (you can measure yourself) than the 10x12 is all you need.
What do you do with the strap if you are using a Level III Lightweight UHMWPE Body Armor 10" x 12" plate with a trauma pad?
In front or in back of the strap?
In between
hey, i have written to your company twice, why dont you send out some kind of update on when we can expect an order to be fullfilled? mine has be "processing" for over two weeks.
every item they sell has an estimated ship by date. everything is 4+ weeks out. hell, spartan armor systems is 10-12 weeks out.
You're going to have to wait a while. I would recommend looking into add-ons while you wait. If you didn't get a build up coat you can always learn how to do that as well
@the Graf what i expect, as i asked for in the comment, are updates. i have worked in a company with online sales. we did weekly updates to backorders to assure folks we hadnt lost or forgotten their orders. it aint hard.
2 lol you won’t see it till 10
Just the way it is with them
@@mtower235 I'm past 17 now on a 12-14 week lead time. They essentially lied in their advertising and you accept that? They need to make good or stop taking people's money before class actions start rolling in.
I’m 5’9”, is getting the 11x14 overkill? I understand weight is an issue but will it affect mobility at all?
Did it affect your mobility?
Bring back the Operator II..
So the testudo will still accept 10X12 curved plates?
Yes, the Testudo Gen II will accept both 10x12 and 11x14 size plates. Let us know if you have any other questions!
when you guys will launch lvl 4 still plate?
I hope soon before they ban level 4 plates
I thought it said "how to ruin".
Most of your customers couldn’t go 2 miles in a plate carrier. Though your plates are a quality product
Modernday PC define NIJ std vs DOJ vs independent testing. I would love to see your extensive background with ASQ and data used to determine if an item meets a std. You do understand items do not require cert from a specified lab to meet that bodies criteria correct?
2 miles? PT is good for me.
Could people really not figure this out ? Maybe you shouldn't be playing with guns ?
My first thought as well
so because they got confused by an internal strap, they shouldn't have a firearm? You're going after the wrong targets, the real enemies are the blue gang members with badges and the tyrant politicians that give them orders.
No one should ever 'play' with guns.
Respond to my email ASAP your website is broken and i kept trying to order something but YOUR website kept telling me it was declined and wrong number please respond
They can't fill the orders they have. ''14 week lead time'' is a lie. Don't give them your money as there are other alternatives that deliver.
