The Testudo Gen 3 carrier features a Quick-Detach System, custom fit, padded design, and integrated pouches. Ideal for those who need rapid adjustability and comfort in high-stress situations.
TACTICAL HYDRATION POUCH: Hydration, decontamination, medical treatment, hygiene, food preparation, and more: Water is an essential part of readiness.
The Quick-Detach Hydration Pouch is Armored Republic’s newest way to keep this commodity with you at all times the pouch fits a 3-liter bladder inside. A zipper at the top secures the bladder, and multiple features secure the pouch to your gear: Backpack attachment, MOLLE, and the new Quick Attachment options give you all you need.
The Multi-Rifle Magazine Pouches from Armored Republic accommodate all common rifle magazines in a single, double, or triple magazine pouch, and are capable of accommodating magazines such as 5.56×45 (.223), 7.62×39 AK, or 7.62×51 NATO (.308 Winchester).
Secure yet accessible magazine storage
Each section can accommodate up to two small rifle magazines or one large rifle magazine. Front-mounted elastic tabs add versatility and additional mounting points for 12-gauge shotgun shells, tourniquets, chem-lights, or other horizontally mounted accessories.
Our Armored Republic Multi-Caliber Pistol Magazine Pouches hold single and double-stack mags, from .22LR to .50AE- even fits Five-Seven magazines.
The Radio Pouch attaches in multiple ways: it can be mounted horizontally in the six o’clock position using the plate pocket, or using MOLLE webbing. It can also be attached using a hook-and-loop wing panel, which allows the pouch to be positioned to the left or right, under the cummerbund. This frees up MOLLE webbing on your cummerbund for additional gear.
The Radio Pouch is fully and quickly adjustable, featuring elastic sides, a velcro bottom closure to adjust radio depth and allow quick MBITR battery change, (without affecting any PTT lead / antenna wiring on the carrier), and a tie-adjustable shock-cord retention band to fit a wide range of radios on the market.
The AR Battle Belt is a 3-in-1 modular belt that switches between a waist belt, duty belt, or war belt depending on which of the three included parts you use. Its primary material is Cordura® Nylon, while Velcro® is used to attach the three parts securely, and durable ITW-Nexus buckles are used for each part of the belt. Additionally, featured on the Outer Belt is a covering of PALS webbing for compatibility with MOLLE gear.
*Note: belt sizes are measured over your clothing and not like a regular pants belt
