Freedom is about choice, and the Testudo Gen 3 “Build Your Own” kit honors that freedom.

Which armor type would you choose and why?

Is your law enforcement agency or security service in need of an upgrade in ballistic protection? Armored Republic's mission began with supplying U.S. civilians with superior armor at fair prices, but our remit has since extended to Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America.

If you’re investing in ballistic protection, there are plenty of reasons to start with steel. To begin with evidence from the video, a ceramic plate will be compromised after multiple rifle-round impacts, while the steel alternative will suffer no backface deformation even after sustaining almost 2x the number of impacts. In a logistically constrained scenario, steel armor that can be used over and over again provides a massive advantage over what are essentially single-use products. At under 2.5 kg per plate, our A2 alloy armor is Level III+ protection for a nominal, one-time investment. Our American steel is always in stock and mostly ships same-day. If you run ceramic or poly plates, how quickly could you replace them if you needed to? What about if supply chains were disrupted?

Though some people question the utility of armored backpacks, there’s no arguing their effectiveness in stopping 95% of the rounds used in gun crimes. If you already carry a backpack, what do you see as the disadvantages to adding ballistic protection? In today's environment, personal safety is more complex than ever, and armored backpacks add a discreet yet effective layer of protection. Armored Republic's Phoenix and Firebird Armored Backpacks seamlessly integrate into daily life, providing ballistic defense without drawing attention.

You've taken the time to research and study preparedness, invested in tools of liberty, internalized the truth that no one is coming to save you, perhaps even spent a great deal of time on the flat range. You consider yourself ready. However, when the time comes to defend yourself and your family, it doesn't happen on your terms; you have to sprint 200 meters with a plate carrier and rifle to cover the distance between you, your family, or carry an injured person to safety. If you've neglected fitness as an integral part of your preparedness regimen, you're fighting from a deficit. You can't out-train a bad diet, so an integral plank of fitness is managing what you put into your body. For the tactical athletes out there, what nutrition protocols have worked best over the years?

83 years ago, an unprovoked attack forced the United States into the largest war the world has ever known. "Operation Z", as it was referred to by the Japanese, lasted 110 minutes. 353 Japanese planes damaged or destroyed all 8 battleships docked at Pearl Harbor, in addition to 11 other ships and 188 aircraft. We solemnly remember the 2,343 who lost their lives that day. The sneak-attack galvanized the industrial and economic will of the American people, and had the unintended effect of mobilizing the whole of the American population towards the war effort.

Election season may have passed, but for the anti-social groups forever intent on sowing chaos, it's open season all year around. The benefits of our Mira 8M-CM gas masks extend beyond protecting yourself from airborne chemical agents--they filter toxic smoke from wildfires like last month’s Mountain Fire in Ventura, California. As you can see in the video, these gas masks really work. Carve out a little extra space in your get-home bag for a Mira gas mask, and greatly expand the number and nature of hypothetical scenarios that you're prepared for.

Often, the most significant impediment to wearing a plate carrier is discomfort, especially when you add pouches, a belt, magazines, and a rifle. We've changed that with Testudo 3. We understand that carrying kit around can be exhausting, so we've tried to remove some barriers to entry. Should the worst happen, don't let a few pounds keep you from being prepared and protected.
