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.
