Love this kit so far. Had a little trouble getting the cumberbund tight enough, but after a quick call to customer service they helped me sort that out. Between the quality of the product and the excellent service, I'll be a return customer.

First time buying hard armor. Choosing a carrier and plates is alot to online. RTS was awesome, they answered all of my questions and addressed concerns with the right size for me and how it will move with me. I spoke to a gentleman on the phone and I can not remember his name but super cool guy. Carrier and plates arrived quick and with a quick adjustment to the band, it was sbug and comfortable.

To try out the concealed carrier, I wore it to work three days this past week with just a long sleeve tee shirt over it and a jacket, unzipped and nobody knew I had it on. I'm calling that success!

Customer photo review of RTS AR600 LEVEL III+ SPECIAL THREAT INSERTS

Ordered 2 sets one set with the base coat, which I regret, should have gotten the build or really should have just ordered the set with the true spall protection coat. The build up is not what I thought at all. Maybe an extra coat or two and the coat ends right at the seem where spall would most likely exit into my chin or groin( as pictured) I am impressed by the plates and the tests I’ve seen. If they preform like the videos I will be well protected. Just wish I would have gone with the new coating. Build up not worth the $90 and not to convinced it would help stop spall.
