Mind telling me your height and weight? Just trying to figure out if the vest would fit me.

[@aaronfox5559]

Does it come with the plates?

[@Hawkguy327]

This video is criminally under viewed. Nobody breaks down a plate carrier like this and puts that info out there so quickly and clearly. Awesome work and thank you!

[@TWANGnBANG]

Thanks so much!

No joke man! I just ordered mine with 3+ plates and side armor after watching this

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

Own a rifle? In a SHTF or civil engagement, you automatically become priority number to the enemy because you’re the threat. Rule of thumb is, carry a rifle, wear rifle plates.

Right now as of 3/1/18 there's a sale on AR500's website: * Veritas Plate Carrier WITH level III armor plates for $149 * Veritas Plate Carrier WITH level III armor plates and pouches package for $199 Huge thanks TWANGnBANG for the discount code, that is highly appreciated. Will be purchasing my first full featured carrier w/ armor with that!

[@d10dozerman2]

@ TWANGnBANG ... Thanks for the great review on the Veritas plate carrier. You were very informative and you covered everything the plate carrier offers. From watching your video about the Veritas plate carrier I order myself one last week. AR500 Armor had a special sale on the Veritas and I could not pass it up. Now I need to be patient and wait for my plate carrier to come in. Thanks again for taking the time and making the videos. Oh one thing.... How could I get one of your velcro patches that says, TWANGNBANG for my plate carrier?

[@robertpagel8951]

I highly recommend buying this carrier with the cumberbun. Had mine a hour before going back online to purchase one. The side buckles are a royal pain, unless you reverse them they will work loose then once I found the tip online to reverse the buckles I couldn't reach back far enough to snap then in place. Once you do have the cumberbun tho this carrier is hard to beat for features, quality and comfort.

[@fordwk]

Same here...looks like I will be buying one. Needed to hear this...thanks.

[@rayhanes1347]

What's the best all around plate carrier AR500 has? They have so many, it gets hard to choose.

[@asphal.t]

Okay now for the REAL QUESTION………….. Can it accept the groin protector????

[@MailmanJustin]

I'm torn between the Testudo gen 2 and Veritas. The Veritas has the wider distance between shoulder straps (my neck isn't the skinniest, but not the fattest either) but the Testudo looks like it has superior cooling and I like how the straps connect to the front below the neck line. I live on the coast of FL and this will be for mostly shtf.

[@Jay-gn6vo]

AR500 Armor says they will not accept any returns if someone used your TWANnBANG discount ...unused or not satisfied.

[@pollxxv]

Thanks for the 10% coupon. Just ordered my plate carrier from them today. I skipped the side armor for now. Will probably order it later.

[@tomtrevino9704]

Still waiting on my order been more then 3weeks. If you need something fast don't order from these guys. No email on ETA or nothing. Took my money and haven't gotten what i paid for. Letting me down AR500!

[@79dogface]

Does it come with trauma pads or sold separately ?

[@joshuarawdon4329]

Comes with em

[@cocorcowan]

You said smaller guys could probably benefit from this! I’m 5’3” 125 lbs would this be a good system for me?

[@JS-gt2qf]

Thank you for the review and full assembly instructions. I was wondering how the cummerbund was supposed to be put together and how the side armour went together.

[@drevil4454]

Brilliant review. I'm seriously considering this option over the C... J.. which is f-ing expensive. Now do one on the invictus

[@Jturner551]

Ar500 is a horrible company, they don’t honor prices and they never send out the product, lies and bullshit and back and forth emails and phone calls with broken promises, horrible customer service as well.

[@toxicgunzandgamez465]

Curious as how to run 6x8 steel plates. Horizontally or vertically. I know it’s a dumb question but this is all new to me

[@GearKnowHow]

Just picked one up during the crazy sale they're having now! Not sure how I feel about this Cummerbund System, it's very comfortable, but what's an easy way to take the vest off and on with a full mag loadout on the front? Seems much more difficult than the basic nylon buckles. Thanks for the review!

[@nicholasfernandez7720]

cool. love your vids I had run out of excuses when I got my cheapo pc that's a copy of the jpc, but it looks like I know what I'm getting next!

[@elijahoconnell]

How adjustable is the cummerbund itself? On my current carrier i could bring two ends of it together to make the cummerbund itself shorter

[@theequalizer2173]

Would I be capable of wearing this under a hoodie or jacket with it being somewhat concealed? Or no?

[@farmerwayne1404]

Nice. How tall are you, if you dont mind??? Thank you!

[@eddierodriguez7250]

is the veritas plate carrier only able to run the cummerbund from ar500? or is it able to run other cummerbunds from other companies such as ferro concepts?

[@RabiesTheBeagle]

If u got the budget for this stuff democracy and the government are working?

[@soldieroftoughlove7635]

How much does it weigh with all four plates?

[@thisguydiablo]

It's on sale for like 40-50% for Christmas sale now, discount code is invalid though

[@ANT6184]

The "fully loaded" Veritas option with 30% off "treatyourself" coupon code is a way better deal than their December sale was because it includes the cummerbund, side plates and pouches.

Guess Vietnam is better than Chy-na. Very well made video tho 👍

[@thediydaddy2068]

I see you've reviewed both the Testudo Gen 2 and the Veritas. Do you have a preference one over the other? I am looking at getting a Veritas with 10x12 plates and adding the optional cumberbund. But then there's the Testudo Gen 2 that comes with the cumberbund and side pockets already. Right now with the package deal they have going, it's only like $30 extra to get the Testudo compared to the optioned-out Veritas (without side armor pockets). I'd appreciate any input you might be able to offer. Thanks!

[@senketsu_6650]

Witch is better this or testudo gen 2 im looking for a good plate carrier that I can completely kit out

Can't do it. I need 11x14. big boy protection

I'm a first responder and I was looking for something to protect myself with should the need arise. I checked AR500.com because I've heard about it a lot from others but there were so many options. Your review of the Veritas and other sets have helped me a lot in making my decision. Thanks a lot!

[@TWANGnBANG]

Glad you found it helpful, and stay safe!

[@Evergreen1400]

I got my 2 10x12 plates and the plate carrier for $150

[@1unkn0wn]

My experience: The side straps on the base Veritas are very poorly designed and nearly impossible to adjust. Even with help they are difficult to adjust. If you are looking at this carrier factor in the cost of buying the Cummerbund upgrade with the carrier right from the start. If you are going to buy it all in multicam ($85+35+50+5=$175) just bite the bullet and get a good carrier like the JPC for $205. Additionally the JPC comes with a 3 mag kangaroo pouch that ar500 Charges $15 for... So really its $190 vs $205. Edit: I will add that I purchased the Veritas based on this review and was quite disappointed. Had I known the side straps were such a problem I probably would have purchased something else. Additionally: -The grab handle is very small making it hard to get a hold of with larger hands or while wearing gloves -The admin pouch is very tight with 8/10th inch plates installed -The kangaroo pouch is also very tight with 8/10 inch plates installed

[@EntryLevelLuxury]

Best deal right now is the lvl III+ ALSC plate bundle for 179 (comes with two trauma pads) + veritas (or lite). $270 total with shipping - better than any of their package deals they promote.

[@fordwk]

"the Veritas cummerbund is not recommended in conjunction with the kangaroo magazine pouch for use with AR-type or larger mags"...so what good is it?

[@HanglowTheNoob]

My only complaint on this carrier is the huge buckles on the back. When you're road marching, the ruck lays right on the buckles that put my arms to sleep.

[@garrettzkool63]

thats terrible! i dumped the stock shoulder pads they come with and added the HSGI shoulder pads that go across the entire straps. super comfy, wide and flat so my assault packs dont pinch on my hydration tube and i havent felt the buckles dig in at all. thinking of making a video on my mods to the veritas...

[@Rumeel12708]

how does this compare to the 5.11 tactec plate carrier?

[@hothithit7494]

What is better a plate carrier or a bulletproof jacket ?

[@williamchristensen1200]

I've a lot of reviews of AR500 armor, mostly with plates from AR500Armor.com, and I was wondering how Cati Armor ( www.catiarmor.com/# ) stacks up? It claims to be AR500 and AR600 steel, but I'd never heard of it before a friend asked me about it. I definitely like their multi-curve design better than the more well known multi-curve plates from AR500Armor.com. I was wondering if you could do a comparison?

[@wolffo999]

Veritas will not fit thick ceramic plates

[@simoneriksson6489]

There are a ton of "Airsoft-specific" (chinese-manufactured clones) vests and plate carriers out there that are, quite frankly, up there and competing with some of the more well-renowned brands like LBT, Warrior, Crye Precision etc - but in a price range that won't blow a huge hole in your wallet. I myself own a Modi JPC (Jumpable Plate Carrier) - obviously a clone of the Crye Precision JPC. But it's in an allmost 1:1 spec with the real JPC, and could easily fit real armor plates if needed which really undermines the use of those more expensive brands of plate carriers. But yeah, most of the more well-renowned brands offers lifetime-warranty but for the price of one of their products you could go grab yourself two or three of their chinese counterparts, and even though they do not come with any warranty - you could afford a new one with ease if it just so happens to break on you (never happened to me though and I've used my JPC quite extensively for years). I'm not trying to bash any of the top-quality brands here. I just think that their products are, for the most part, way to expensive and exaggerated. So an alternative would be to look for a cheaper option that still fits the intended needs.

[@DB.KOOPER]

Love mine but the "modularity" for different scenarios is WAY overplayed (much like caliber conversion kits). Most all will buy and upgrade/set up the way they like. Mines got the Cumberbun and I will never use the side straps but I'm glad it was possible to change and modify the system to my needs.

[@haroldmickelberry3398]

THANK YOU for the Great Review! It helped me decided on the Testudo Gen 2. I got my Testudo Gen 2 plate carrier this morning and I have had it on for an hour. VERY comfortable. With the 11" x 14" AR500 III steel plates, it's heavy (25 + lbs). But after an hour I was already adjusting to the weight. Later when I get used to this weight I'll add the 6" x 8" side plates (6 more pounds). It's a very nice vest with lots of options. I've used a level III+ Soft Armor Plate on this inside of the steel plate, against my body as a spaul catcher. You need to do a video on the spaul catcher soft plates. I did not know a soft spaul catcher should be on BOTH sides of the steel plates, so I've ordered another set of spaul catchers and an 11" x 14" level III+ Soft Plate for my back, under the steal plate as a spaul catcher, between the plate & my body. The level III+ Soft armor stops a 44 mag at 15 feet. A NOTE: I had to used some duct tape across the top of the plates & spaul catcher plates to hold it all together as I shoved it in the plate carrier pouch. It was a tight fit!!! (plates can't move around). IT DOES FIT!

[@rickg3317]

Placed my order about 3 hours before you released this video. Damn it, didn’t use your discount code. I ordered the Veritas advanced loadout. $199 with plates, 2 hsgi DD tacos and 1 hsgi x2r taco, great deal! Only had in black though. waiting for them to have coyote in stock and for the price I’ll order another carrier only. Options!

This plate carrier is more than the video says it is. It's actually $80 plus shipping.....a bit on the pricey side for a no name bare bones plate carrier. The Condor plate carriers actually cost what this one is supposed to cost and they are very good quality.

do they have different options for length of the cumberbund? I've found that cheaper plate carriers use medium to large ones to help accomidate bigger guys, but I'm a smaller guy so it doesnt fit very snug on me.
