Why Run A Freeman Plate Carrier? AR500 Armor

hey guys times Riggin what they are 400 armor and today we are going to discuss the Freeman plate carrier now this is a very unique carrier to the market and it has a lot of unique design features and I'm gonna run over but first I want to touch on philosophy of the business and why I designed this plate carrier now the whole reason we found in the company the whole reason I started this seven years ago as a lot of you guys know is because the moment wasn't attainable to freemen and law-abiding citizens without barriers of entry and a ridiculous price point my whole mission has been to solve that to provide the highest quality product possible at the most affordable prices with no sacrifices so I went farmer to be attainable by all freemen and I want to increase the amount of our population that owns armor and firearms to information to the Second Amendment so with that said the Freeman is very important to me in terms of company vision because of its price point and attainability often we have this on promo at $99 and MSRP is generally around 120 depending on configuration now the first thing you're gonna think when you look at the Freeman is you're gonna think it's a little bit small and we get that online now it's important to understand what rifle armor and rigid and particularly hard rifle armor is designed to cover it is designed to soften rifle threats and it is designed to cover your primary vitals which would otherwise be a one stop shot now your primary vitals are gonna be your heart the large blood vessels above your heart and as much of your lungs as possible now we understand getting shot in the abdomen an arm an extremity or leg is bad but generally speaking you'll be able to return fire so you want to stop with rifle armor one stop shot hits that prevent you from being able to return fire whereas in an extremity the chance of you being able to get medical attention or get into a situation to be treated for that wound is much more likely than a shot to your heart which will the end result of that is pretty obvious so touching on a Freeman it is a affordable ultra lightweight and minimalistic flight carrier that comes with a proprietary plate design 9x9 so for guys who like to run really lightweight setups this weighs in at about ten pounds so the front rear plate with our special nine by nine plate now what's interesting about the Freeman plate is it as the top load plate pocket design so the flap opens on the top side and you insert the plate from the top of the plate carrier in addition the plate can be ranan or any orientation you can run it right side up or upside down now what's nice about that is we took that to account with the design of the Freeman to make it a carrier that will fit a big guy who wants to run a light compact small minimalistic play carrier or it will fit a small frame so the shoulder straps are fully adjustable for just about anybody's small frame to large frame and you'll notice there's a grid system on the shoulder straps and that's my intention so when I'm doing a little notice it is a very big strap in the grid system is on underneath - what that allows you to do is cut the section you don't want if you're a smaller frame and then you will have a bunch of additional straps but you still maintain integrity of the strap system or if you're a bigger guy you can max it out if you'd have a tip on over them so the Fremen is really just designed to be fully adjustable and user configurable and we took all body shapes and designs into account now the back is relatively minimalistic it's not intended to have a bunch of stuff left on the back it does have a Velcro ID panel which is important if you're into identification medical room safety office or any sort of situation like that the next thing you wanted to do with the Freeman is keep it almost to the point of being concealable if you're wearing a hoodie or any kind of any kind of jacket the Freeman is actually a very viable option for concealed Zweifel armor the plates concealed very well and because we use steel which is available in three two three + + 3 + lightweight for the Freeman we have a very thin profile and a nice curvature what is super comfortable use a drawing position and easy shoulder your rifle is very easy with the freemen and what's also nice is even though it is a 9 by 9 play and it as a contact design you can still fit three shingle pouches on the front so when you're comparing this to a traditional 10 by 12 11 by 14 plate carrier you lose some real estate for sure but you can still fit a triple end for a bad pouch on the front and admin pouch up top in a bed Kanaan the back of the tourniquet somewhere or pistol mags so you do run to a our bags and a pistol mag it doesn't limit the ability to run going to be a traditional loadout now back to the treatment design we use laminate Cordura nylon which is it's not a 500-year a thousand d it is a cord or front that has a laminate backing which gives it excellent strength we use high quality material to manufacture this to maintain durability of on jibbety over time and you'll also notice the slots and the Fremen it's kind of a unique design feature but what it does is it allows us to make a very thin very lightweight carrier with no sacrifice to durability and these locks act as webbing it's a you'll see a lot of laminate carriers you know you've seen shoulder straps inside like this before and you've probably seen some laser cut laminate carriers before these slots are a laminate carrier version of webbing so you can involve you can web any traditional moly pouches onto the Fremen with no issues why did we make this like why did we go to a nine by nine plate that is that it could be read right side up upside down that will fit all frames like what's the point well armor you know what we want is Iron Man we want a full suit of armor but the reality is you need to be mobile when you wear armor so back to the the idea of what body armor and rifle armor is designed to protect are your heart large blood vessels and one-stop-shop areas so the Freedmen's design it will fit in a backpack it will fit under the seat of your car it will fit on your child it'll fit on a small frame female and a fit on a small frame guy it's ten pounds with the heaviest configuration front and rear loaded and it still allows you to run three AR mags and it's something you can literally put in your backpack conceal you can travel with it you can take it anywhere you can they're affordable and on a promo rate of ninety nine dollars each and that includes the carrier and armor um so this is our version of the ability to have a go anywhere plate carrier at your disposal that has a balance of rifle threat protection in the threat levels you need with no barriers of entry in terms of price it's very of one hundred dollars for a rifle rated kit and and you can use it abuse it you don't have to with steel you don't have to worry about how you store it you don't through we were all roughhousing with it you can keep it in your car let it get as hot as you want now besides you want but a car temperature isn't gonna affect the end ballistic integrity of steel as it was a polyethylene composite armor or even ceramics with composite backings so when you look at it from that standpoint the freeman starts to make a lot of sense as a minimalist a minimalist concealable shot carrier or a backup carrier or if it's your primary carrier and you're a guy who wants them to be armored but you really value mobility and speed and flexibility and you want to maintain good stock welds and you you want guys who will just run a chest rig and no armor will do that because they prefer to have their gear on them you got to have mags you gotta have med kit you gonna have you know the ability you got to carry more ammo and you have to carry supplies but they may not run armor due to mobility and weight constraints the Friedmann is a perfect middle ground between going with something like it's a studio which is a more traditional full-size full real estate play carrier that will accept 10 by 12 an eleven by fourteen plates but you do sacrifice mobility and you do increase way when you go with that so the freeman is a flagship design and really is a good embodiment of the vision I have for our 400 armor why I found the company and and it's not traditional and I like that because it has a purpose and it has a use so when you're purchasing body armor it is important to decide how you're going to use it and what is it used for the Freeman is a multi-purpose carrier that is meant to be affordable to all free tech men and attainable dal freemen and it will fit just about anybody large or small and it's packable if you buy this and keep it in your vehicle it's great vehicle armor keep it in your office keep it in your drawer I keep a couple around the house keep a couple as a backup in your bug out situation keep a couple for friends and family it's affordable enough to do that and you get all of the bill the benefits of rifle threat protection in an affordable package

like it Senate we guarantee you'll be impressed with it do you understand it is a minimalist design and that's by intention for the reasons I stated above and if you're not familiar with laminates and hypalon on plate carriers the strength is there everything we design is over built for its use you're not gonna have any issues when you look at it it looks in for reason that allows it to be concealable which isn't not a big benefit on the freedom so again a lot of you says don't forget to Like subscribe and share and uh make sure you get on our mailing list if you're not on our mailing
