AR Concealment™ Level IIIA Plate Carrier

The best armor is the armor you have with you: Make that armor count with the Concealment plate carrier from Armored Republic. The lightest and lowest-profile carrier in our store, it’s one of the most popular options for everyday protection against most threats you’re likely to face. Also offered are our compatible S2 or Hybrid soft body armor panels.

The Concealment plate carrier emphasizes mobility and comfort by having a tight yet breathable fit under your clothing: The material is a moisture-wicking, breathable fabric that has a 4-way stretch capability to always move with you without chafing. It also features cummerbund-like straps around the sides for a tighter fit.

Armor Upgrades:

• The S2 soft body armor is made of Aramid and built for a balance between affordability and top-level capability. It is lightweight (at just 1.25 lbs) and has strong stopping power (defeating all handgun threats).
• Finally, the Hybrid soft body armor is constructed from industry-leading materials from Honeywell Spectra Shield®, Honeywell Gold Shield®, and other ballistic fabrics from respected manufacturers. The exceptional quality of these materials makes for an especially capable panel. The result is an ultra-thin and ultra-light piece of soft armor at 0.25” thick, 1.04 pounds.
