Get a flexible measuring tape, and do the following. Measure the distance from the bottom of your jugular notch to the top of your belly bottom, and across your chest to the middle of your ribs. Body armor is meant to cover your vital organs in the front, and back. Side armor protects only the kidneys, and partly the large intestine. Based off your build, I would go with 10.25x13.25 inch plates.

I'm 6 feet tall @ 260 muscular pounds and my issue is my traps are pretty large causing me to run the top velcro straps to near end just so that the vest can be placed where it needs to be other wise overall the rest of vest fits fine and I may have to go with the 11x14 steel plate.. Loos like I'll be hitting a craft store to get some velcro to make them a little longer and also be going with steel plates as they are thinner. AR500 vest are nice and well made and wish that they offered addition velcro.

Coverage would be exactly the same from the Testudo to the Testudo Lite (They are the only carriers in the lineup that accommodate 11x14). In terms of sizing, you may even get slightly more range out of the Lite version because you're losing the bulk from the padding and 3D mesh interior.

Im trying to decide on this or the k19 by agilite. I hate how some companies have really good designs, but lower quality and some have great quality and generic designs. The tasmanian tiger mk2 chest rig/ carrier is the future of carriers in my opinion. But I wish ar500 would adopt a design like that, but with a snap quick release like the k19. I hope you guys see this and reach out to them about using their design lol.
@AR500Armor
@AR500Armor 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the feedback. We product test a lot of carriers here so you don't have to! The K-19 is a solid carrier, but has a few detractors in our opinion. First is the plate bag size is kind of large for 10x12 size plates, even SAPIs. You end up with some material that can impede weapon usage if you do not train around it. The next is the quick release buckles are unidirectional unlike the First Speer Tubes system that can be locked/ unlocked in both up and down motions. this makes securing the buckles in the dark difficult at best. I would recommend a carrier with a more fit to size plate bag such as our Invictus Plate Carrier to prevent material scrunching and instead use a blaze defensive quick release system that adds the first spear tubes capabilities. This will allow almost any carrier with a cummerbund the ability to quickly don or doff in seconds silently. shop.blazedefensesystems.com/shop/ols/products/bds-qr-tube-attachment-kit

There's no such thing as big boned, your heart and lungs don't spread out when you cross the 250mark on the scale. I'm 6'1 260, I've got the same skeleton I had my senior year in HS @220lbs... I'll stick to my medium size plates and train to get back down to a proper weight.

6'2 260 here, I made the horrible mistake of getting a "normal" sized 511 vest and 10x12 plates. Feel like I'm wearing a child's vest, and only covers 85% of my heart/lungs. Should have done more research on sizing. Seems I need one like this with 11x14 plates. Another 3 month wait time, which sucks. But at least it's incredibly easy to sell my current rig and plates given the current near-apocalyptic state of the world.

Yes, but the recommended hard armor probably will not fit. Even with multi curved plates, your bosom will create a gap to your lower torso. Soft armor is no problem, but check out Safe Life Defense's FRAS armor kit. There is a long lead time, and it is quite expensive, but the flexible ceramic tiles could suite your needs. I hope this helps.

With the Lite version, we removed the bulk and weight of the padding and 3D mesh, the Velcro on the PALS webbing, and removing the side waist straps and buckles (meaning it can only be used with the cummerbund). This makes the carrier cheaper and lighter than the full-feature Testudo.
