Premier Body Armor Fortis Armor Plate Carrier Kits (From $324.90)

If you’ve been paying attention, we live in a wild world that is only becoming wilder. We try to always live by the creed “It’s better to have and not need than need and not have.” As such, we’re proponents of body armor for civilian (and, of course, professional) use. Premier is a trusted name in both soft and hard armor, as well as nylon carriers.

One thing to remember about body armor is that it is designed to defend against certain threat levels, i.e., calibers, projectiles, velocities, and number of impacts. As the level of protection increases, so do costs, weights, and thickness. Like many of us, it’s easier to purchase a complete kit than to piece something together you’re not overly familiar with. Premier makes this very simple and affordable with their new Fortis Alpha Plate Carrier and plate bundles. Depending on what your anticipated threat level is, you can choose from three different loadouts that contain carrier and armor: Fortis Level III, Fortis Level III+, and Fortis Level IV. Basic kits start at $324.90 and climb to $520.90. Even the top option provides a ton of value for the protection received.
