    I purchased an Invictus Bundle (plate carrier, plates and pads). I did not open the product but it was stored in my closet for almost 1 year. I decided I wanted to go with a lighter option and wanted to exchange the Invictus Bundle for a soft body armor product. I was willing to pay any difference. I was told that my exchange period had expired even though I had never opened the product. I could understand if the product was discontinued or if I simply wanted a refund, but neither of those were the case. I wanted to simply exchange one product for another and pay the difference. I was even willing to allow the company to keep the difference if they owed me money. I would like to continue business with Armor Republic but they won't allow me the opportunity.

    Ive seen adds on social media for this company for a long time. I finally pulled the trigger on buying a plate carrier through Armored Republic. I was skeptical because I thought the deal of two plate carriers and four level 3 plates for the **** they had on their website was too good to be true. That being said I still convinced my brother in law to go fifty fifty with me and I speak for both of us when I say we are very satisfied with what we got. Theyre better than what we expected with how much we paid for them. Great quality carriers and legit plates for an awesome price. These guys are doing something right!
