The Testudo Gen 3 Plate Carrier features a Quick-Detach Buckle System and a cummerbund that’s great for its precise adjustability; pull it tight to fit you exactly. The QDS allows you to pull a cord away from you and the carrier will open on that side for quick removal.
The Testudo Gen 3 is made mostly of 500D Nylon, with bar tacks reinforcing all stress points and PALS webbing covering the outside. MOLLE-compatible webbing for pouches, holsters, and accessories.
The generous padding also prevents chafing, making for an armor setup that’s easy to wear for long periods of time. The adjustable shoulder straps, made of nylon, also help you fit the carrier as the low offset makes the rear plate pocket ride at the proper height.
The Medium Size Testudo Gen 3 is suited for 10x12” plates, whereas the Large is suited for 11x14” plates. Most users will find the 10x12” size most manageable and sufficient to protect the vitals. We recommend the larger size for users 6’4” tall and above.
