November 14, 2017

Testing Bulletproof Backpack Armor

In an increasingly unpredictable world, personal safety is paramount. One innovative solution that's gaining traction is the concept of bulletproof backpacks. These are not your ordinary backpacks; they are equipped with a layer of para-aramids, a material known for its bullet-stopping capabilities. One such product that caught BigDaddyHoffman1911's attention is our Bulletproof Backpack Armor. In this article, we'll delve into an in-depth kevlar backpack armor test, assessing its effectiveness and value for money.

*note: no armor is truly bulletproof, as certain levels of armor are rated for certain threats. Learn more about these standards and "bulletproof" armor in our article Understanding Body Armor Ratings.

Premier Body Armor's Backpack Armor

Premier Body Armor's Kevlar Backpack Armor is a unique product designed to provide an added layer of protection in potentially dangerous situations. This level 3A armor is designed to stop .44 Magnum at 1430 f/s and down, covering almost all common pistol threats. The product is available in different sizes, including 10x12, 11x14, and 11x16.5 inches, with prices ranging from $125 to $174.

The Bulletproof Backpack Test

The armor underwent an extensive bulletproof backpack test, where it was subjected to multiple rounds of 9mm, .45, and .357 bullets. Despite the rigorous testing, the backpack armor consistently stopped the bullets, proving its effectiveness. Even when subjected to more rounds than it's rated for, the armor held up, stopping every single bullet.

The backpack armor is designed to fit seamlessly into a regular backpack or laptop bag. It's incredibly lightweight, with the 10x12 model weighing in at just a pound. This makes it easy to carry around all day, whether you're commuting to work, school, or traveling.

The ballistic backpack armor also features a water-resistant and antimicrobial coating. This means it's designed to be worn close to the body without getting smelly, and it's resistant to water damage.

It's lightweight, affordable, and most importantly, it works. It's a testament to the advancements in personal safety technology, offering an affordable, practical, and effective solution for everyday protection.
