AR500 Armor Reviews

AR500 Armor is a pro family, pro 2A, and pro America company bottom line.
I'm sure we are all familiar with the expression: You can have quality, you can have it affordably, and you can have it quick, but you cant have all 3.
AR500 focus on Quality and Affordability since when talking about protecting your life, these are most important provided you have given yourself ample time to wait for the product.
I see reviews on here focusing on the time it takes, but not one is mentioning how they had an almost indefinite amount of time to purchase armor, guns and ammo up to covid, and you wait until the nation is teetering on a second civil war before you decide you need to get yours now.
If you are buying guns, ammo, armor, or medical supplies any time after covid hit, guess what? You failed to prepare for what the 2nd amendment was written for way back in 1776 for and have no one to blame but your self.

This had to be one of the worst companies that I have done business with....orderd product...told 4 to 6 week lead time....week 8....work 9....canceled order....product is quality...poor management...would not recommended to friends!

I purchased an Expandable Hydration Pouch and found the product well made and the delivery prompt.

Order volumes are up, I get it. The world is crazier than ever — that's probably an understatement. And COVID sucks. I get it.
Or at least I got it for a month. And then 2 months. And then 3 months. And finally 4 months. At what point, though, does all of that simply become a hollow excuse?
AR500 makes -the best- products out there at okay prices. But with the number of made-in-the-USA competitors out there, this might actually be my last order from AR500, and I still have two plate carriers to go in my goal to have one for everyone in my family (because of just how insane the world is today).
Maybe I'll give them a try again next year, but for now, I think I've lost confidence in their ability to deliver — their competitors are 30 days behind — not 90 — and make comparable products with comparable testing data and comparable features. A couple are even 15%-20% lower cost.
This review is being written while I am frustrated and disappointed, so take my comments and read them with the understanding that they are not necessarily impartial and your experience might be different. Based on others' reviews, it's probably a craps-shoot on whether or not your experience is similar to mine and others'.
