In today's rapidly changing world, the emphasis on safety and protection has never been more prominent. The innovative solution of bulletproof backpacks aims to offer an added layer of security for students and professionals alike. Read on to explore the intricacies of these products, from their creation process to the diverse range they cover.
Bulletproof backpacks for school are backpacks designed with special materials that can stop bullets from penetrating them. These backpacks provide an extra layer of protection for students in case of a dangerous situation.
Premier Body Armor developed bulletproof backpack panels for kids in response to requests from police officers who were using our vests and wanted something similar for their kids.
After collaborating with these officers, we introduced a bulletproof backpack shield, addressing a sensitive topic with a practical solution. This idea ultimately led to the availability of backpack armor for kids on our civilian-facing website.
We offer the largest selection of backpack body armor in the world. We also partner with leading bag designers to guarantee a seamless fit for our panels. This makes it painless for you to find the best bulletproof backpack insert on the market.
We also understand that the concept of a bulletproof backpack is a new one for a lot of people. And for that, we have a post “Do Bulletproof Backpacks Really Work,” which should answer any questions you have about this product.
There are a few different options for how to use backpack armor in different situations. By wearing the bag normally, crouching behind it to use it as a shield, or wearing the backpack backward, you can protect yourself in a variety of circumstances.
Creating a bulletproof backpack involves a specialized manufacturing process that uses advanced materials designed to provide ballistic protection.
With our bulletproof backpack pads, we easily integrate a soft body armor design. For more information on soft armor, visit our “Soft Body Armor: Pros and Cons” post. That said, let’s take a look at how these bulletproof inserts are made:
Material Selection: The manufacturing process begins with selecting high-performance materials, primarily ballistic-resistant fibers like Kevlar to form a Kevlar® backpack insert or Dyneema®. These materials are chosen for their ability to absorb the energy from ballistic threats.
Layering: Multiple layers of ballistic material are stacked and bonded together to form a composite panel. These layers are arranged to maximize the backpack's ability to stop projectiles.
Seamless Integration: The bulletproof backpack panel is then carefully measured and cut to fit the desired backpack. This can involve custom-fitting the panel to specific compartments within a specific backpack brand or model or creating a more generic size for universal fit in a variety of bags. It’s important with either option to ensure a seamless and discreet appearance.
Stitching and Reinforcement: Reinforced stitching is used to secure the ballistic panel. Manufacturers pay close attention to stitching techniques to maintain the panel's integrity.
Quality Control: Each bulletproof backpack undergoes quality control checks to ensure that the ballistic panel meets the specified ballistic standards. This may involve ballistic testing to verify its protective power. Keep in mind the NIJ does not certify backpack panels, only bulletproof vests. However, at Premier Body Armor, we use the same ballistic material in our backpack inserts as we do in our NIJ-certified body armor vests.
In a world where safety concerns are paramount, the question of whether you need a level 3 backpack insert might cross your mind. The straightforward answer for most individuals is no. Here's why:
Most shootings are done with a handgun, which is stopped by level IIIA protection. This means that the vast majority of threats can be effectively stopped with a level IIIA bulletproof backpack. Level IIIA armor can safeguard against a wide range of handgun calibers, offering substantial personal protection.

Designed with safety and versatility in mind, our rifle plate insert for backpacks offers robust protection against rifle threats, giving you confidence in unexpected situations. It is also special-threat tested to stop PS Ball and FMJ (M80) rounds.
Crafted with top-tier materials and meeting rigorous NIJ ballistic standards, it ensures dependable protection for your vital organs. This 10"x15" armor panel seamlessly fits into most standard backpacks, providing discreet defense without compromising style or comfort.
Whether you're commuting, traveling, or simply going about your day, our lightweight, low-profile insert promises security.
While the concept of bullet proof school suppliesmay seem like something out of a science fiction novel, the unfortunate reality is that safety concerns have made these products increasingly relevant. But bulletproof school supplies aren't just about backpacks. Exploring a range of protective options is essential in a world where threats can arise unexpectedly.
For starters, not all students have the luxury of carrying a backpack in the classroom. College students, in particular, often prefer a more streamlined approach. That's where our innovative line of bulletproof school supplies comes in:
A discreet and practical solution for students of all ages. Designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine, this pencil pouch offers level IIIA protection, providing peace of mind without sacrificing style or functionality.
This particular item was designed when our own VP of Marketing had a son in middle school, who had to leave his bookbag in his locker all day. Using the same material as our backpack panels, we developed a functional and protective pencil pouch that he could have with him throughout the day.
In an age of digital learning, safeguarding your laptop is crucial. Our laptop case is not only designed to protect your device from everyday wear and tear but also provides advanced ballistic protection. Ideal for college students and professionals alike who prefer to travel light.
Our level IIIA bulletproof binder covers introduce a hidden but reliable form of protection for students and professionals by blending seamlessly into everyday life. This was, again, developed out of a demand for a non-backpack solution that provided a greater area of coverage than the pencil pouch.
These bulletproof school supplies are designed to integrate into your daily life whether you're a student, teacher, or working professional. We understand that safety shouldn't compromise your style or convenience, so our products offer the highest level of protection while maintaining a sleek and discreet design.
In an unpredictable world, being prepared is key. Explore our range of bulletproof school supplies and ensure you're equipped to face whatever challenges come your way.
We believe personal safety should be accessible to everyone, including children and young adults. While some companies have marketed bulletproof backpacks with built-in armor, we've taken a different approach. We understand kids want to carry the backpacks they love from their favorite, more popular brands. That's one reason we don't make bulletproof backpacks; instead, we offer discreet armor inserts designed to fit seamlessly into the backpack of your choice.
When discussing the importance of placing a bulletproof backpack panel in your child's bookbag, it's crucial to approach the conversation with sensitivity and reassurance. Start by explaining the panel's purpose: to provide extra protection in emergencies. Emphasize that it's a safety measure, just like wearing a seatbelt in a car.
Here at Premier Body Armor, we have a whole section dedicated to school safety.
When talking to your child's teacher about the bulletproof backpack, start by expressing your safety concerns. Explain your decision to use a discreet protective insert, assuring them it won't disrupt the classroom.

I bought the carrier, and it arrived within a few days. I was happily surprised by the low weight, and rugged construction of the Alpha Carrier. I put a level 4 plate in both front and back, both of which fit like a glove. The sizing was easy to adjust, and the one size fits most is true of this product. Huge adjustment range. Very impressed by the Fortis Alpha Carrier, along with everything I have ever ordered from Premier Body Armor. Great job, guys!
After wearing my full body armor for 30-years, it isn’t conducive to under cover plain clothes work that I do now and it is so hot to wear during the summer. I put this armored t-shirt on and it fits like a glove, but is not uncomfortable. The first day I wore it alone, but the second day I wore a form-fitting micro fiber tank top under it and it really felt good. I actually had no wetness because the bottom top absorbed it. It was a warm day, but nothing like sweating intensely with full body armor. I ordered a second carrier shirt to switch out for washings. With my gear on and plain black tactical shirt, I am so much more comfortable on my feet for long hours. I should have bought this years ago.
As someone with extensive experience wearing a wide variety of body armor in the military, law enforcement, and physical security industries, I know firsthand the challenges of balancing protection, comfort, and concealment. The Everyday Armor T-Shirt has exceeded my expectations on all fronts.
This is by far the most comfortable body armor option I’ve ever worn. The lightweight design and breathable material make it ideal for all-day wear, whether you’re on duty or just out running errands. It’s so well-concealed that it doesn’t print, even under a fitted shirt, making it perfect for discreet protection without sacrificing mobility.
What sets this apart is how seamlessly it integrates into daily life. Unlike traditional armor that feels bulky or restrictive, the Everyday Armor T-Shirt feels like part of your everyday wardrobe while still providing reliable peace of mind.
If you’re looking for everyday protection that doesn’t compromise comfort or discretion, this is an outstanding choice. Highly recommend!
PBA is awesome. I own 3 backpack panels from them. I own panels for Vertx ReadyPack, Eberlestock Fade Sling, and now the Fade Adapt.
The Fade Adapt panel is huge. Fits snug into the backpack and covers a lot. Mainly gonna be used for traveling and camping. I feel comfortable carrying it knowing I'll have a huge panel to hide behind.
Thanks again PBA for the great products.
When it comes to armor, if you want something light so you can be quick and/or carry more ammo, med supplies, etc., and still want the best protection… get these. Sure they’re not level 4… but they cover the most likely rounds to be used in an urban environment. Quit thinking Level 4 is the best and get these, you’ll be thoroughly impressed. Hell even my 10 year old loves them! Would be great for their backpack too.
Love this new little sling with the panel in it beautiful exactly how it describe on the website
Have always worn soft armor, generally in outside carrier working law enforcement and military. Needed to up protection from rifle fire. Did not want heavy steel plates. Polyethylene the ticket for weight and protection. The Fortis III+ very nice. Light, 3.4 lbs each, multi curve, comfortable, have protective coating, fabric, nice. I put them in a Agilite K19 carrier. Overall more comfortable, easier to move than the outer carriers and soft armor I have worn before. Weight is crucial in extended wearing of vest, especially when adding pouches, ammo, radio, etc. These plates really help in reducing weight and no compromise on protection. The price was a factor along with quality and protection level. These plates nailed it, don't know how you could get anything better for this price. Company is legit, background In manufacture sold me also. You will not be disappointed in the Fortis III+ multi-curve plates.
I’ve put it to use on the job as an AEMT and it does it’s job well. It keeps me at more of a peace of mind knowing I have a bit of protection going to calls and it doesn’t get in the way of my patient care.
First, I want to thank the customer support team that helped me with my return. The first sling pack was way too small. Y’all suggested another one that was larger. It was a perfect size and I love the way it hugs my body. Second, love the way your body armor fits in the sling pack. It’s a perfect pairing. Now let’s talk about the combo. This has to be one of the nicest packs I have ever bought. Honestly I didn’t know much about the Viktos brand. WOW!! Very nicely constructed. I love the fact I can put in my side x side while out on the ranch. It holds everything that might be needed.
Again thank you to everyone. Pease keep up with quality products like this. You have a customer for life! Thank you!

Fantastic Product - Armor Fits like a Glove. Also, it was very convenient to get the bag with the armor.
While it inherently seems a little bit silly to armor a fanny pack, premier and VertX are a perfect match as always. And silly or not, now I've got an extra layer of 3A soft armor to throw over one of my children, sling across my chest, etc if ever needed. It's big enough to protect vitals, and my gun rides in the socp pack as well. This is a great setup for short walks and hikes, or summertime on the boat
By far the most concealable body armor I own. I am 5’11 and 155 lbs. I got a small and was so worried that the armor wouldn’t be concealable since I’m on the thinner side, but I was dead wrong. I had a hoodie ready to throw on in order to show it concealed further, but there would be no point. You can’t see anything with this size SMALL under-armor polo on…that’s actually impressive premier. Great job.
I have wore the product multiple times now and have received many compliments on the fact that you can’t hardly tell I’m wearing it. Also it is very comfortable in comparison to other similar products on the market. I’m very happy with the product.
Fit as described quality products from a American family company.
Great shirt. Very discrete to wear. Proud to support and American company
