Vanguard Assault | Level III+ or SRT/RF2 Kit
The Vanguard Assault is a complete, modern armor loadout built for users who demand lightweight mobility without compromising rifle-rated protection. Designed for dynamic defensive use, this full kit equips you with a cohesive system that includes rifle plates, a modular plate carrier, a ballistic helmet, and a reinforced tactical belt—ready for real-world deployment out of the box.
At the core of the Vanguard Assault is your choice of Aegis Ultralight Level III+ Polyethylene plates or Aegis Special Rifle Threat (SRT) RF2 Hybrid Poly-Ceramic plates, paired with the Invictus Pattern MK I Modular Plate Carrier. The Aegis Ultralight option prioritizes maximum weight savings and extended wear comfort, while the Aegis SRT configuration adds enhanced protection against advanced rifle threats such as M855 and M193, bridging the gap between standard Level III and RF2-rated protection.
Completing the system, the Vanguard Assault includes a Level IIIA ballistic helmet for head protection and a reinforced modular tactical belt designed to support essential equipment. Together, these components form a balanced, scalable armor solution that dramatically outperforms traditional steel-based kits in comfort, fatigue reduction, and overall usability.
All plates are constructed as stand-alone, multi-hit rated solutions, optimized for modern carriers and engineered to dissipate ballistic energy efficiently while minimizing fragmentation risk compared to steel systems. The Vanguard Assault is ideal for users seeking a lightweight, rifle-capable armor system that supports mobility, endurance, and adaptability across a wide range of defensive scenarios.
(CHOOSE YOUR FRONT PLATE CUT - BACK PLATE IS "SAPI" BY DEFAULT)
The Aegis Ultralight III+ plates exceed NIJ level III standards while the Aegis SRT model bridges the gap to RF2 standards.
