AR500 Armor Invictus™ Plate Carrier

***Manufacturer’s Estimated Lead Time: 3 – 5 weeks!

The AR500 Armor’s Invictus carrier was designed to be rugged and lightweight – a carrier to help you endure the fight for as long as it lasts, without getting exhausted by added weight. Featuring a Nylon laminate cummerbund with side plate pocket accommodation, the Invictus balances high coverage with high mobility.

Super Light, Extremely Rugged

Sometimes, a heavy-duty carrier like the Testudo is ideal for the mission at hand. At other times, though, the nimble Invictus may be much more suitable: Built to be a light full-coverage carrier at just 1.3 pounds, the Invictus is more ready for rugged high-mobility action than any other carriers of comparable size. The Invictus has also been jump-tested by US Special Operations personnel, where it demonstrated its ability to provide high mobility without sacrificing protection and comfort for the wearer.

The Invictus (Latin for Undefeated) accepts all trapezoidal 10”x12” plates and is laser cut from laminated nylon. The Hypalon shoulder straps and pull tabs are low profile and secure. The included cummerbund is cut from the same laminate and can accommodate AR500 padded side plate pockets. Both the plate carrier and cummerbund feature generous PALS cutouts for all MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories.

Finally, both the plate carrier and cummerbund feature generous PALS webbing for all MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories – giving you extra space to let you keep extra magazines, a medical kit, or a general access pouch close at hand.
