DESCRIPTION:
Introducing our new Basics Highcom 4S16 Level 4 Armor Bundle!
This is a fantastic option for someone looking for a lightweight level 4 armor bundle with a low profile slick carrier with tons of modularity. 
The included Highcom 4S16 10x12 Multi Curve Level 4 plates are just 6.2lbs per plate and 0.7" thick, emphasizing maximum protection at a light weight.
 
Just as the name suggests, this bundle is a basic, no frills armor setup that works right out of the box.
This kit features a Defense Mechanisms MEPC in a slick configuration with a 4" elastic cummerbund. 
This kit is designed to be a lightweight, concealable and low profile armor kit that also provides a great foundation to build off of.

The included Highcom 4S16 Multi Curve Level 4 Armor Plates are capable of withstanding 3 shots of .30-06 M2 AP as well as 6-10 shots of 5.56 M193, M855 or M855A1.
These plates achieve this protection at just 6.2lbs per 10x12 plate, making this an excellent balance between weight and protection!

The included Defense Mechanisms MEPC plate carrier comes in 9 different colors, optional detachable front flaps and optional ROC QD points on the cummerbund.
The MEPC’s elastic cummerbund features 4 small pouches on each side, capable of carrying AR-15 magazines, radios and more!
The MEPC also accepts all detachable front flaps and chest rigs with standard 1” clips.

All accessories will come in the same color as the platebags unless otherwise noted.
