Testudo v. Valkyrie
1. Plate size accommodation: The Testudo can house 10"x12" and 11"x14" plates. The Valkyrie can only house 10"x12" plates.
2. Side plate accommodation: The Testudo also has built in side plate pouches in the cummerbund that accepts 6"x6" and 6"x8" side plates. The Valkyrie needs our Padded Side Plate Pouches to be able to accept side armor.
3. Berry Compliance: The Valkyrie is Berry Compliant, which means that all of the components are 100% US made and manufactured, which is the reason for the higher cost. Both carriers are made from the components that are rated at the same performance level, but the Testudo has components that are not 100% US made, which makes it possible to keep the price point lower while still having the same quality. Both will perform the same and are made with the same attention to detail, so if you do not need 100% US made, the Testudo will serve you just as well as the Valkyrie.
Those are the major differences between the two. Please let us know if you have any further questions!
