Templar Steel Core Essential Body Armor Kit
The Templar Steel Core Essential's Kit is your first step into mission-ready protection.

This kit combines our flagship Invictus Pattern MK I Modular Plate Carrier Suite with NIJ Compliant Level III+ "Warden" AR600 Lightweight plates or RF2 "Dominus" AR700 Lightweight plates.
Designed for patriots who prioritize agility, durability, and value, our AR600 plates weigh in at 5.8lbs each while the AR700 plates sit at a comfortable 6.15lbs each —significantly lighter than many competitors' offerings.
Each plate features a rugged base coat for corrosion resistance and surface protection. Option to select a frag mitigation buildup layer or base coat only. Note: modern nylon plate carriers with proper wear, significantly reduce fragmentation risk in practical use but spall coating is available for additional protection.
(CHOOSE YOUR FRONT PLATE CUT - BACK PLATE IS "SAPI" BY DEFAULT)
These AR600 lightweight Level III+ steel rifle plates are tested to and exceed NIJ Level III ballistic standards while our AR700 plates meet RF1/RF2 NIJ standards.
