Templar Steel Core Essentials Kit
The Templar Steel Core Essential's Kit is your first step into mission-ready protection. This is our essential, budget friendly, start bundle for patriots who need a high quality yet accessible armor kit. 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.

Body Armor Shipping Times
Armor often requires additional lead time, depending on stock and manufacturing schedules. Therefore, please refer to individual product pages for the most accurate updates. Standard turnaround is 5–7 business days.
Discreet Packaging
To protect your privacy and operational security, plain, unmarked packaging is our standard. Whenever possible, no external labels will reference “body armor,” “tactical gear,” or other sensitive terms.
However, orders fulfilled by Amazon warehouses may ship in branded boxes or poly mailers without additional outer packaging. These may display our logo or SKU/product identifiers.
⚠️ Important: This does not apply to body armor shipments. Any armor orders are packaged discreetly, regardless of fulfillment method.

Generally, we do ship to PO Boxes and APO/FPO addresses when allowed by our fulfillment providers. Unfortunately, body armor cannot be shipped to APO/FPO locations, and PO Boxes must be within states that allow armor ownership if purchasing armor.
