Enhance the Eberlestock FADE Flex with Lightweight, Level IIIA Everyday Protection

Premier Body Armor is excited to announce its custom-designed Eberlestock Fade Flex Level IIIA Insert, created specifically for the Eberlestock FADE Flex bag. This lightweight insert (only 0.4 lbs) offers reliable everyday defense without adding bulk or compromising style. Measuring 5” x 9.75” and tested to Level IIIA standards, it protects vital areas and is perfect for cross-body or belt-bag wear, ideal for anyone seeking discreet, enhanced personal security.

The Next Evolution in Everyday Protection

The FADE Flex bag is a modern twist on the classic waist pack. With Premier Body Armor’s new insert, you can turn that convenient design into a protective solution that guards essential areas such as the heart and major blood vessels. Whether worn around the waist or across the body, the insert’s thin 0.22-inch profile ensures comfort and flexibility for everyday use.

Key Benefits of the Eberlestock Fade Flex Insert

Level IIIA / HG2 Protection

This insert meets the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards for Level IIIA, meaning it can help defend against most common handgun threats, including .44 Magnum. It is not rated for rifle rounds.

Ultra-Light and Travel-Friendly

Weighing just 0.4 lbs, the insert is easy to carry and TSA-approved, making it a great addition for frequent flyers or busy travelers.

Modular Hook-and-Loop

The entire front surface has hook-and-loop material, letting you attach holsters, medical pouches, or other EDC accessories without losing any functionality inside the bag.

Rugged Yet Flexible Build

The ballistic material is sealed in waterproof ripstop fabric and covered with 500 Denier Cordura®. This combination resists wear and tear while maintaining a slim profile.

Practical Tips for Using Ballistic Inserts in EDC Bags

• Check the Fit: Ensure the insert sits correctly in your FADE Flex or similar bag. A snug fit prevents shifting. Premier Body Armor offers many sizes of backpack inserts, including custom-fit options for other Eberlestock bags, Vertx bags, and Viktos bags.

• Pair with Proper Gear: Consider using a secure holster or medical pouch on the insert’s velcro surface for a more organized EDC.

• Understand Local Laws: Body armor is legal for law-abiding citizens, but always confirm regulations, especially when traveling.

• Practice Drawing and Access: If you plan to carry a firearm, spend time getting comfortable with your bag’s layout and zipper pulls so you can access gear safely.
