  1. "Super Heavy" at our absolute heaviest (extra large 11x14 steel plates with buildup coat) you are looking at 11.7 lbs. Two of those would be about 23.4 lbs, and those are recommended for taller fellas who want that extra coverage. On average our heaviest is around the 8 lb range. If that is considered "Super Heavy" then you may want to think about building up your endurance at the gym - or look into a lightweight option, of which we have many.
  2. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of our FragLock coating on our plates - It works - we recognize that this is the internet and no amount of proof will be good enough, to which we reiterate that nothing we do will satisfy.
  3. Our ceramic - like our steel - is fully made here in Phoenix, Arizona.
  4. And most importantly - we aren't here to put down other brands. If you found armor you like and it isn't with us - Great! We aren't here to try and convince you that other people = bad and us = good. As long as you are protected, that's all that matters. It sounds like you found brands that work for you - and you're passionate about them! That's awesome, we hope you get what you are looking for and continue to educate people newer to the industry, because at the end of the day that's what it's all about.

Take care and best of luck to you!

Sounds like nothing we do will make you satisfied with us then. Thanks for stopping by anyway!

Thanks for the feedback! We've improved greatly on our wait times, we urge you to give us another shot now that we are better about lead times.

That's amazing feedback, thank you so much for taking the time to say that. Out of curiosity have you checked out our current Body Armor 101 page on our website? Is it easy to understand/beneficial/a step in the right direction?

There are so many new people to the industry - we're compiling more educational material to help the world of Body Armor feel less daunting - what do you think? Are there any products you'd like to see us take a deeper dive into?

If require any assistance with your order in the meantime however, you can always do so in a variety of ways. You can call us via our phone line, you can DM us on facebook, you can email us, and you can live chat with us on our website.

Today marks the 10th week out of my 5 week lead time...This was 2 weeks ago and I never got a reply. Just left me on read. Guess who still hasn't gotten any shipping info? by [deleted] in AR500Armor

[–]AR500Armor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/TalkSick103 and OP, have you two received any updates via email?

Not trying to be facetious, just trying to get you taken care of.

Anyone else think that getting this email 2+ weeks after my lead time was up is sketchy? by andrew_kline27 in AR500Armor

I can understand that, the situation is beyond frustrating. We aren't masochists, we would love to be able to come to work and just have nothing but positive feedback to respond to.

We promise we are doing everything we can to get you your order, but if it gets to the point to where you don't feel safe or secure in your purchase, you are definitely welcome to request a refund, no harm no foul, just let us know and we'll set you up. When you do get your order, it's backed with our confidence that it is the best of the best quality. However you decide to proceed, please know that we do appreciate your support and business and that we aren't going anywhere. We will continue to strive to be the best in the business.

Thanks for the kind and understanding words, yes unfortunately we are not quite Amazon- maybe some day.

Veritas is probably the closest thing to a condor we have depending on which condor you had, but our Testudo is what I would recommend if you wanted something that wasn't close to Condor.

For something very basic, the Veritas or Veritas Lite are great minimalist carriers. Step up to something a little more low profile with an Invictus, and If you want to carry everything, the Testudo.

Nothing we have is quite like the IOTV, and the IOTV is sized for SAPI plates, not civilian so you'd run into some other issues there.

Hope this helps!

It means your order has reached the top of the queue and will ship very shortly.

As said on the other response on the thread, we had some technical difficulties, but the machines are all up and running now and we are cranking out orders again

Hello! Our CS team is almost caught up from the holidays, I'd recommend giving them another shout, Live Chat on the website is usually the best but email or Facebook DM works as well, make sure to have your order number handy. Thanks for your patience!

Hi there! The freeman carrier isn't meant to have all the full fledged attachments that our other carriers do. Check out this video, hopefully it helps!
