"Besides the purchase being extremely affordable it was truly effortless to make the purchase. Will definitely purchase for AR500 again"
"Can’t wait to get mine in the mail, I’ve heard they’re fantastic plates. "
"I am a repeat customer, but the over amount of emails and texts are annoying. The products meet my expectations. I wish they put as much effort into a buying and selection guide. Love the faith of the leadership. Find confidence in the products. "
"Originally ordered an item that was out of stock, to make up for my brief wait my item was upgraded and a $25 gift card was given to me to buy my original item in case I was unhappy with my upgrade. "
"My experience was very pleasant and super simple ordering I'm sure I'll be pleased with my merchandise"
"Great overall selection of body armor at a great price. Even better it is a local company I can support thank you ar500 looking to do more shopping soon."
"Great promotional sale on plates!"
"The deal was great and timing couldn’t be better. It’s going to become my primary armor choice and my current rig will become more specialized. Allowing the payments to be spread out will also benefit more people as it did me. Thank you!"
"Wish price was cheaper, also not sure i like having the tourniquet pouch with red letters."
“Thank you for your review. We try to be as competitive as possible with our pricing when we can and where we can. We have put more armor products in the hands of the Freemen of the United States than most other armor companies because we do provide exceptional products at the best prices when on promotion and offer discount codes for items that are not on promotion such as what you purchased. Many TQ pouches feature red letters or indicators to ensure that if someone else needs to help you with your medical gear if you are not responsive, they can easily identify key components quickly. In any case, that is a patch that you can easily remove and replace with a different version of your choice if you don't like the red lettering. We hope this information is usefull! Thank you for your business and support!”
"It was a great experience but second after I bought I saw you guys are offering 20% so I’m trying to see if I can still get that 20% off my payment since it’s like $40 so it would really be nice if I can get that taken off my bill
Thank you "
"The kept rebooting and I gave up 3 times and was finally able to get fewer reboots while placing my order. It is very frustrating."

We hope we can serve you better in the future to reduce any frustrations.”
"We have been looking at a purchase for a while. We were able to do a complete informed decision with the help of the educational pages on the Armored Republic website. I was able to draw on my military experience in the set up and use of body armor as well. Thank you and regards. SFC DAN Ret. "
"A great experience buying. I hope it is as good as it looks like. Looking forward to receiving their product."
"Everything was as advertised."
"I’ve been interested in body armor, but as a first time buyer, I found the options offered at purchase, lacking enough detail for me to make final selections. In the end, I had to write down notes of every option available with their weight, lifespan, and price. Once chosen, I moved to the cart where I was presented with more options for items that lacked description such as the length of the different sizes for a battle belt, or what would be good accessories for the belt given my choice in Armor. This led me to researching many other sites, and in the end only purchasing the cheapest most minimal carrier that was available figuring I could leave it in the car or pass it down to someone else if I was unhappy with my final selection. Even though I would have liked to have taken advantage of the discounts at check out and the Black Friday sales the lack of information and photos kept me from doing so. "
“Thank you for your review. We understand that body armor and the supporting products are a very niche selection out of the tactical industry. We have tried to do our best to educate our customers via our YouTube channel and our website's FAQ. Our customer service agents are also very well trained to answer any customer inquiry questions either on the phone or via email. Body armor is very mission-specific and it is difficult to tell our customers exactly what they will need for their own scenarios every time, so we provide general information and allow the customer to figure that out without shoe-horning them into a limited range of choices. In the end, most people end up with several different loadouts for different scenarios, seasons, and missions. If there are any other lingering questions or if you desire to dial in your order or even change it, please let us know! We would be happy to give you a call and get you something you are completely comfortable with. Thank you for your business and support!”
