AR500 Armor Blunt Force Trauma Pad
When a bullet strikes body armor, the energy from the impact is transferred to the armor. What happens to the armor depends on the type and material. Soft armor flexes and “catches” the bullet, whereas hard armor can either shatter the bullet (steel), dissipate the force by breaking apart (ceramic) or capture the bullet by melting around it (polyethylene).
All AR500 Armor® in standalone configurations perform very well in tests against back face deformation (BFD) and energy transfer and are designed with BFD in mind.
Helps dissipate energy transfer
Each trauma pad is specially engineered to mitigate blunt force trauma in case your armor takes a round and reduces the amount of back face deformation that could occur, which can mitigate the risk of injury after impact.
Designed to be worn in conjunction with and behind your body armor, our Trauma Pads reduce the amount of energy transfer to your body, reducing felt energy through your armor. Our patented Advanced Shooters Cut (ASC) matches perfectly to our Level IIIA, III, III+, and III+ Lightweight body armor improving ergonomics with your rifle.
Compatible with AR500 Armor® body armor and most other armor systems and plate carriers.

AR500 Armor Testudo™ Gen 2 Plate Carrier
In 36 BC, the historian Plutarch gave the first description of the Roman Army’s formidable Testudo formation. It consisted of a group of soldiers tightly packed, with shields held in front and above, so that nothing could penetrate the advancing unit. The Testudo Gen 2 carrier (specifications below) takes that vision and applies it to personal body armor: Having formidable protection by maximizing coverage.
The Testudo is made mostly of 500D Nylon, with bar tacks reinforcing all stress points and PALS webbing covering the outside for attaching your MOLLE-compatible pouches, holsters, and accessories. The generous padding also prevents chafing, making for an armor setup that’s easy to wear for long periods of time. The adjustable shoulder straps, made of nylon, also help you fit the carrier as the low offset makes the rear plate pocket ride at the proper height.
One of the biggest advantages of the Testudo is its cummerbund: A sash around the lower half of the carrier that both gives you side-plate pockets for extra armor and gives you full adjustability to tighten the carrier to a perfect fit. This adjustability makes the Testudo more than a “one-size-fits-all” solution since the size itself can be changed to best suit you.
If you’re looking for a carrier to accommodate your best armor and best gear, while keeping you comfortable the entire time, the Testudo Gen 2 is right for you. Get it by itself or in one of our bundles today.

AR500 Armor Level III Body Armor
Essential protection ought to be affordable and reliable, which is why AR500 Armor is proud to offer one of the most cost-effective plates on the market with our Steel Level III (specifications below): An AR500 Steel plate, cut in our patented Advanced Shooters Cut shape and design, and covered with an exclusive FragLock™ Coat, in Base and Build-Up forms.
Our Level III Steel, unlike ceramic or polyethylene alternatives, is capable of protecting against several direct hits while still being less bulky than competing materials. It also has been independently tested in accordance with NIJ 0101.06 threat levels through Oregon Ballistics (OBL), and H.P. White Laboratories. This means it is rated to stop 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) at a velocity of up to 2,780 FPS, and special threat tested to stop 5.56mm M855/SS109 (Green Tip) at a velocity of 2,780 FPS.
A benefit not elsewhere found in the industry, the Advanced Shooters Cut shape affords you additional room for your rifle stock, improving comfort and shooting ergonomics; this is available in right and left-handed configurations. It is also compatible with all standard plate carriers that accept SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut body armor, given there is an appropriately sized chest plate pocket.
Finally, the FragLock™ Coat is a unique feature that guarantees two benefits: First, it gives a twenty-year maintenance-free shelf life - making this steel plate far outlast ceramic or polyethylene alternatives. Second, the coating mitigates the dangers of spalling (when pieces of steel fragment off) and fragmentation (when the bullet’s remains fragment off), protecting the wearer from both the direct ballistic impact and the aftermath of the impact. The Build-Up Coat features stronger protection with the tradeoff of greater weight and size, while the Base Coat is lighter and thinner with less protection.

AR500 Armor Soft Body Armor
from $83.02
$84.54
Our Rimelig option is made of p-Aramid Fibers and is available at both Level II and Level IIIA protection levels, which both provide multi-hit protection. The Rimelig is the most budget option of the three, making it a solid entry-level soft armor option, while still staying true to the goal of soft armor: Reliable lightweight protection, at just 0.45” thick and weighing 1.24 pounds.
The next level up is the Slim, which is made of two separate Aramid laminates joined together for greater strength. The symmetrical design of our Slim armor gives it a bidirectional capability, meaning it's perfect for use in a backpack, where you might use it on your back, or in front of you as a shield (slim armor panels will still have a "strike face" label, though it will be equally effective from either side, making it perfect for use in armored backpacks or bags). It provides Level IIIA protection and is only 0.36” and 1.25 pounds in our 10x12 ASC model.
Finally, for our most advanced option, the Hybrid is constructed from industry-leading materials from Honeywell Spectra Shield®, Honeywell Gold Shield®, and other ballistic fabric from respected manufacturers. The exceptional quality of these materials makes for an especially capable panel. The result is an ultra-thin and ultra-light piece of soft armor at 0.25” thick, 1.04 pounds.

AR500 Armor Soft Body Armor
For lightweight protection that’s easy to carry, AR500 Armor’s soft armor (specifications below) options give you the most value for the least sacrifice in affordability and stopping power.
Multiple soft armor types are available to choose from, each of which uses a different soft armor material with different weights and protection levels. However, there are similarities across each option: Every panel is either rated at Level II and Level IIIA (two handgun threat levels from the NIJ recommendations). Every soft armor panel is cut, sewn, and assembled in-house. And, like ceramic and polyethylene hard armor, these panels all have a 5-year shelf life.
Our Rimelig option is made of p-Aramid Fibers and is available at both Level II and Level IIIA protection levels, which both provide multi-hit protection. The Rimelig is the most budget option of the three, making it a solid entry-level soft armor option, while still staying true to the goal of soft armor: Reliable lightweight protection, at just 0.45” thick and weighing 1.24 pounds.

AR500 Armor Quick Detach IFAK (QD IFAK)
Your search for a quick detach IFAK pouch has come to an end, and the AR500 Armor® QDIFAK is the answer.
Spacious, tear-away feature
Medical pouches typically fall into general-purpose, tear-away, or expandable pouch designs. The AR500 Armor® Quick Detachment and Deployable (QD) IFAK combine the best of all worlds with multi-stage deployment and a tear-away feature, mounting to your plate carrier, cummerbund, or any webbed surface and allowing full access to your medical kit immediately.
The exterior boasts front and side webbing for easy mounting and immediate access to your tourniquet and features a standard Velcro® patch panel. The mounting panel includes a Trauma Shear retention strap and mounting guides.
Once deployed from the closed position, the pouch folds out into a “middle stage” allowing rapid access to your trauma components. The further expansion releases your tear-away medical platform to full length creating an organized and retained display of your IFAK components. The entire platform can be quickly detached in either compact or expanded form for use anywhere your situation requires.
Durable elastic is spaced and sized according to a wide array of common medical and trauma supplies for easy customization and layout. Sections can be organized for medical situations such as Bleeding, Breathing, and Burns. Constructed from genuine 1000D Cordura Nylon, and reinforced with heavy-duty Bar-Tack stitching on all webbing. Includes two MALICE CLIPS® for attaching to your MOLLE-compatible platform.
If you don't have a medical kit to put in the QDIFAK pouch, we offer an IFAK refill kit that contains equipment necessary to provide treatment for a gunshot, knife/stabbing, or other bleeding injuries.

AR500 Armor Veritas Modular Plate Carrier
True to its name, the Veritas is as reliable a carrier as you can get thanks to its low weight and versatility. While the Testudo, this carrier’s brother product, is a heavy-duty carrier that maximizes comfort and coverage above all else, the Veritas was made with an emphasis on greater mobility, greater customization, and a lower price point; assets to make the Veritas accessible and dependable.
Because nearly every component of the Veritas carrier is removable, making your loadout nimble and low-profile is just a few adjustments away. Additionally, turning a nimble loadout into a decked-out one is equally simple: This product is the main component of a modular armor system consisting of a Veritas skeletonized cummerbund, multi-caliber Kangaroo triple mag pouch, padded side-plate pouches, and Adaptive Plate Insert. The Veritas can also be equipped with our Abdominal (ABS) pouch which utilizes our steel or soft armor adding another 9.5x6 area of coverage when used in conjunction.
Sometimes, you’ll be expecting to want a full loadout and be glad to wear all these features. But likely not all the time; for other situations, the coverage of just a carrier with front and back plates will be all you need.
500D Cordura® Nylon, bar-tacked at all stress points for high durability, makes up the majority of the carrier’s material. It also features a padded 3D mesh for comfort, ventilation, and customizability, including the ability to accommodate a cummerbund, side-plate pockets, and removable shoulder straps. On the carrier, there are also dual admin pockets with Hypalon® easy-to-grip pull-tabs and an upper admin pouch with elastic keepers. Front & rear Velcro® ID Panels allow you to further personalize your carrier with patches or other accessories.
Extremely adjustable, the Veritas can be made to fit from a Medium to an XXL. It is compatible with any trapezoid 10”x12” plates (square 10”x12” plates are slightly too large for the design) as well as any smaller sizes when used with an Adaptive Plate insert.

AR500 Armor Abdominal Armor
Our standard plate and carrier covers vitals such as your heart and lungs but weren’t designed to cover the lower torso. That’s where this plate comes in: AR500 Armor developed the Abdominal Ballistic System (specifications below) to provide even more protection in addition to the coverage provided by the standard carrier/plate combo. The ABS attaches to the bottom of your carrier so it can move independently of the top plate. This gives you unhindered flexibility while still providing full torso coverage. Specifically, the ABS attaches the abdomen plate via our unique pouch design (sold separately), integrating into your plate carrier’s cummerbund flap or inner plate pocket. It is secured with Velcro or optional modular attachment straps, providing a natural and adjustable fit with your existing body armor.
As noted above, there are two versions of this armor to choose from: The Hybrid IIIA soft armor emphasizes mobility by utilizing the latest ultra-light, thin, flexible, and high-strength materials on the market, such as Honeywell Spectra Shield®, Gold Shield®, and other ballistic fabric from respected manufacturers. At just eight ounces, it’s a burdenless addition to your setup for more coverage.
On the other hand, the Level III Steel armor emphasizes protection, being able to stop 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) as well as 5.56mm M855/SS109 (Green Tip) at a velocity of 2,780 FPS, in accordance with NIJ 0101.06 standard. It also features the same natural curve of our full-size curved armor plates and our FragLock build-up coat for spall and fragmentation mitigation.

AR500 Armor Level III Body Armor With Build Up Coat
Essential protection ought to be affordable and reliable, which is why AR500 Armor is proud to offer one of the most cost-effective plates on the market with our Steel Level III (specifications below): An AR500 Steel plate, cut in our patented Advanced Shooters Cut shape and design, and covered with an exclusive FragLock™ Coat, in Base and Build-Up forms.
Our Level III Steel, unlike ceramic or polyethylene alternatives, is capable of protecting against several direct hits while still being less bulky than competing materials. It also has been independently tested in accordance with NIJ 0101.06 threat levels through Oregon Ballistics (OBL), and H.P. White Laboratories. This means it is rated to stop 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) at a velocity of up to 2,780 FPS, and special threat tested to stop 5.56mm M855/SS109 (Green Tip) at a velocity of 2,780 FPS.
A benefit not elsewhere found in the industry, the Advanced Shooters Cut shape affords you additional room for your rifle stock, improving comfort and shooting ergonomics; this is available in right and left-handed configurations. It is also compatible with all standard plate carriers that accept SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut body armor, given there is an appropriately sized chest plate pocket.
Finally, the FragLock™ Coat is a unique feature that guarantees two benefits: First, it gives a twenty-year maintenance-free shelf life - making this steel plate far outlast ceramic or polyethylene alternatives. Second, the coating mitigates the dangers of spalling (when pieces of steel fragment off) and fragmentation (when the bullet’s remains fragment off), protecting the wearer from both the direct ballistic impact and the aftermath of the impact. The Build-Up Coat features stronger protection with the tradeoff of greater weight and size, while the Base Coat is lighter and thinner with less protection.

Pressure Dressing: Simply stretch and wrap the SWAT-T around the wound and over your dressing as you would any other emergency bandage, then tuck. Tucking the end of the SWAT-T under itself after wrapping will maintain pressure on the dressing and wound.
Elastic Bandage: A versatile elastic bandage that can be used to hold ice or dressings with adjustable pressure, act as a sling, stabilize a twisted ankle or knee, or hold an object to a limb acting as a splint by using the stretch, wrap, and tuck method.

AR500 Armor Hard Side Plate
AR500 Armor® Side Body Armor is designed to be worn in side plate pouches that attach to a plate carrier system. Our 6"x8" side plates fit most side plate pockets and MOLLE pouches on the market. All AR500 Armor® Body Armor is 100% made in the USA and manufactured from our rugged and reliable ballistic core designed specifically for Armor applications.
Side protection for when it counts
Specifically designed to increase coverage on the peripherals of your plate carrier. AR500 Armor® Level III Side Armor Plates offer rifle-rated protection on the side of your plate carrier. Compatible with most plate carriers that include cummerbund mounted side plate pouches. Comes standard in the flat base coat configuration, with multi-curve and our proprietary FragLock build-up spall and frag mitigation coat available at a slight additional cost.
Level III is rated to defeat 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ball (.308 Winchester) at a velocity of up to 2,780 feet per second, and Level III+ and III+ Lightweight are rated for 5.56mm M193 ammo at 3,100 fps. Side plates are most applicable when increased armor coverage is desired from an entry or defensive standpoint. Non-squared-off shooting positions, traveling in vehicles, and situations, where fragmentation is a realistic threat, are scenarios where heavily running side body armor makes sense.
Also good for trauma plates/speed plates
When used with our Adaptive Plate Insert in conjunction with soft armor, our 6"x8" plates can be used as a rifle-rated trauma/speed plate, offering enhanced protection for your heart.

AR500 Armor Level III+ Body Armor
The Level III+ Steel Plate (specifications below) is able to stop threats such as 7.62x39/7.62x51/5.56 M193s, 5.56 M855 penetrators, and .223/.308 WIN rounds. And unlike ceramic or polyethylene, Steel is able to take several hits from these rounds without fail. This multi-hit special threat resistance is the distinguishing quality of the Level III Plus.
The plate features our patented Advanced Shooter Cut, which improves comfort and shooting ergonomics by affording you extra room for your rifle cut. It is available in both right and left-handed versions and is compatible with all standard plate carriers that accept SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut body armor (given you have an appropriate carrier size).
The included FragLock™ Coat is a feature special to our AR500 Armor plates, which we apply for two reasons: First, it helps reduce the dangers of spalling (when broken pieces of steel come off the plate) and fragmentation (when a bullet’s remains bounce off the plate), protecting you from the aftermath of a bullet’s impact once it has been stopped. Second, the coat gives our plates a maintenance-free shelf life of twenty years, which makes this steel plate last much longer than polyethylene or ceramic alternatives. The Base Coat, which all our plates come with by default, is lighter and thinner with less protection, while the Build-Up Coat can be added for greater protection but also slightly more weight.

AR500 Armor Hard Backpack Armor
AR500 Armor’s carrier loadouts were all designed to offer front-and-back rifle stopping power as well as a place to put magazines and medical kits- a true combat-ready package. But since not everyone can manage carrying this with them all the time, we’re also proud to offer that same higher-level rifle protection in a package you can incorporate into your everyday accessories. So if you’re looking for rifle coverage you can conceal and take more places, this is where to look.
The Hard Backpack Armor (see specifications below) is the brother product to the soft backpack armor, making a trade of having a higher weight but being able to provide more protection: Independently tested to NIJ 0101.06 standards, the Level III version of this plate is rated to stop 7.62x51 M80 Ball (.308 win) at up to 2,780 fps, as well as all lesser threats, while the Level III+ version is rated to stop .223/.308 WIN rounds, 5.56 M855 penetrators, and 7.62x39/7.62x51/5.56 M193s all at velocities of up to 3,000 feet per second. As for weight, the Level III weighs 8.5 pounds while the Level III+ Lightweight weighs 9 - making both about the weight of two textbooks.
Designed to fit directly in the main compartment of most backpacks, this plate can fit well without a dedicated department, but also is well accommodated by laptop pocket (in most cases alongside your laptop) or hydration pouch pocket. As such, it is ready to be brought with you to your next outing without the need for any other accessories - just your preferred backpack or travel bag will do.
If you’re looking for another level of protection and won’t mind a bigger load, the Hard Backpack Armor will be right up your alley.

AR500 Armor Level III+ Lightweight ASC Body Armor
Our Level III+ Lightweight ASC (see specifications below) is tested to defeat .223/.308 WIN rounds, 5.56 M855 penetrators, and 7.62x39/7.62x51/5.56 M193s all at bullet speeds of up to 3,000 feet per second. Also, thanks to the virtues of steel armor, this plate is capable of stopping several shots without shattering or buckling like ceramic and polyethylene alternatives.
The plate is shaped according to the designs of our Advanced Shooter Cut (ASC), with the taper to the top of the plate asymmetrical. This makes using your strong arm easier because of the space given by the cut, making actions like shouldering your rifle easier. This cut comes in both right and left-handed configurations, and any appropriately sized plate will accept it just as well as it would a SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut.
Finally, the FragLock™ sealing from AR500 Armor, which can come either as a Base Coat or as a Build-Up Coat, gives two benefits: First, it acts as a protection from bullet or armor fragments that may come off after a bullet's impact. The Base Coat will normally deflect most of this fragmentation away from you, while the Build-Up Coat will either deflect or capture nearly all of it. Second, it acts as a protection of the plate itself from the elements; thanks to the FragLock™ coating, this plate has a shelf life of twenty years and does not require maintenance. As noted before, the Build-Up Coat protects from fragmentation more than the Base Coat, but it is slightly heavier due to the extra material; the tradeoff is up to you to decide.

AR500 Armor Single Padded Side Plate Pouch
A real-life shooting isn’t always going to be a day at the range, where you face your target straight on. Armor systems acknowledge this by having a backplate and, based on our military’s experience in the Global War on Terror, side plates.
A two-way range is 360 degrees
Riding around in vehicles leaves your sides exposed to IED or shots attacking the side of the vehicle. The Padded Multi Side Plate Pouch addresses this by allowing up to 6”x8” side plates to attach to MOLLE-compatible or Velcro®-based plate carrier cummerbunds.
Slender in profile, our side plate pouch also features meshed padding for comfort and increased ventilation. Our wrap-around design holds 6”x6” or 6”x8” steel, ceramic, or polyethylene armor.
The side plate pouch works with most all existing and new cummerbund designs and attaches to MOLLE-compatible and Velcro® cummerbunds. Comes with a pair of color-matched MALICE CLIPS®.

AR500 Armor Adaptive Plate Insert
If you’re looking for a solution to reduce armor size in your AR500 Armor Testudo Gen 2, Testudo lite, Veritas, or Veritas Lite plate carrier, consider our Adaptive Plate Insert
Reduce weight while maintaining the most vital protection
Our Adaptive Plate Insert, formerly known as the Trauma Plate Insert, dramatically increases versatility by allowing you to easily create an in-conjunction armor system, reduce armor size, or add soft or hard trauma plates for heart and vital organ coverage.
One example of a lightweight, smaller armor rig would be to run Hybrid IIIA 10”x12” body armor in your Veritas plate carrier and use the Adaptive Plate Insert with AR500 Armor® III+ lightweight 6”x8” armor as a trauma plate/speed plate to maintain coverage of your heart.
The Adaptive Plate Insert is compatible with both front & rear pockets, and accommodates 6” x 6”, 6” x 8”, and 8” x 10” ceramic, steel, or polyethylene armor, trauma plates, or speed plates. Simply attach the insert to the attachment panel on the inner pocket of your Veritas™ or Testudo™ (Gen 2) plate carrier for your custom configured armor setup.
Our Adaptive Plate Insert will place your body armor at the top of the plate carrier for the ideal right height and does have room for adjustment to ensure a perfect fit. Inner plate retention straps and guides ensure a secure armor fit with all compatibles sizes.
