Testing and Rating

NIJ STANDARD TESTED ROUNDS

The NIJ 0101.07 Standard calls for the following test rounds:

Round	Velocity (ft/s)
9mm FMJ RN	~1,470 ft/s
.44 Magnum SJHP	~1,430 ft/s

In addition to stopping penetration, the armor must limit backface deformation to 44mm to reduce blunt force trauma.

To learn more about the NIJ body armor standards, read our Understanding Body Armor Ratings article.

OFFICIAL TEST REPORT

Want to see the full test report? View the test document below:

*Note: In the penetration column, "P" stands for partial penetration, meaning the bullet was captured by the armor and did not fully pass through. This is a successful result. A failure would be marked as "C" or "CP" for complete penetration, indicating the bullet fully passed through the armor.

What's Inside Premier Backpack Armor?

A stack of rectangular, layered fabric or paper pieces with rounded edges sits on a table, next to a pair of scissors and more stacked materials in the background.

A person places a Premier Body Armor panel into a backpack near the open trunk of a vehicle, with other bags and gear visible in the background.

For years, we've partnered with Vertx and Viktos to provide custom-fit ballistic inserts for each of their bags and packs. Inside every Premier Body Armor backpack insert, you’ll find the same advanced ballistic material used in our NIJ-certified law enforcement vests.

Multiple layers of proprietary ballistic fibers are carefully woven to absorb and disperse impact, much like a spiderweb catching its prey, while remaining exceptionally lightweight and flexible.

A rugged Cordura cover then protects these ballistic layers from everyday wear and tear, ensuring your backpack insert can outlast the bag itself and provide lasting peace of mind.

Let's put it to the test

FAQs: Backpack Armor

We recommend measuring the width and height of your bag's main compartment or laptop sleeve, then selecting the insert dimensions that best match.

Our inserts come in multiple sizes to fit a wide range of bags, so whether you’re using a purse, briefcase, or school backpack, you can be sure to find a secure, snug fit.

Body armor is legal to own in all 50 states; there are no special permits or licenses needed. However, we cannot ship to Connecticut or New York due to state laws and restrictions.

If you’re unsure about the laws in your specific region, we encourage you to review local guidelines or consult a legal professional.

Use a damp cloth or mild soap to spot-clean the Cordura® exterior. Avoid submerging the entire panel in water or using harsh chemicals, as this could compromise the ballistic materials.

If your panel comes in contact with excessive moisture or other substances, allow it to air-dry completely before re-inserting into your bag.

No, our backpack inserts are made with non-metal materials and are TSA approved, so you shouldn't have any issues during standard airport screenings. Always check with official TSA guidance and your airline’s policies for the latest information on traveling with body armor.

Awesome combo with pac and amour.

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!

My First One

Received my First armored bag. I went with the Viktos upscale 2 and honestly it’s too small. I should have picked the XL version. I am still carrying it with my first aid kit and a Glock 43. I can put a Glock 27 in it but it’s tight. I think Premier body armor company is fantastic and buying from a defense contractor is pretty cool. And made in USA is even better. I will upgrade to larger backpack in the future. Thanks Mr Fowler

Perfect edc

If you want a great everyday bag that holds everything you need( including lvl 3a plate, 10mm with optic and mfak mini) plus your normal everyday items in a slim bag, the upscale xl is great. I’ve had friends complement the bag without knowing how much of a wolf in sheeps clothing it is. The panel fits perfectly and is extremely. I can barely feel the difference with or without the panel in the bag. Top notch work all around on the bag and armor. Add The only complaint I have is that the sling is a little narrower then I would like personally and I wish they made a left/right handed version

Great pack!

Thought it would be larger, but it’s just the right size! High quality.

Happy Customer, Will Be Purchasing Again

Very happy with Premiere body armor. Shipping was pretty fast. The Bag was exceptional, and the IIIA Panel fit like a glove. Love the black multicam pattern. The fit and finish where both great. The panel is so thin and light I don't even feel it. Very happy with my purchase, look forward to purchasing a vest from Premier Body Armor soon.

very sturdy backpack

i needed a new backpack when when riding to a from work , i also needed a new range bag too , riding down the hwy at 65mph the bag is very secure, it dose not move around at all , even when i have weight in it, which is great....and having premiers backpack panel behind me gives me a little bit of peace of mind.. because hey you never know.

Great value!

Viktos makes some great gear. I personally own a couple of their bags & other gear. The fit of the soft armor in the Perimeter 40 is a great fit. I watched a couple review videos before making this purchase because it's not cheap, but once I received it & put it together, I was not disappointed. I bought this bag for my next depoyment coming up soon. I neede to replace my old go bag that I bought in 2003 that has stood up to several deployments & a lot of additional travel. I've bought a couple.other bags along the way, but I have good feelings about this one lasting at least a decade of use & abuse!

Bad ass!

This bag is high quality love it for my edc, armor is awesome not rigid which does not affect the bag shape so it looks normal, will definitely buy more armor insert for my other bags in the future.

Viktos Counteract 15

Awesome little package had the vertex ghost before but wanted something that could be a little bit smaller for those off days.

Lightweight and Sleek

The Viktos Counteract armored backpack is really lightweight and has really nice organizational compartments for all kinds of gear. The quick draw pocket is awesome. Definitely grab one for yourself!

5 stars!

Bought for my wife, she loved it. We were both impressed with the fit and finish. It’s not too bulky and also very discrete. She did not know it was bulletproof when I gave it to her. 5/5 would recommend.

Great kit for ccw

Backpack is straightforward design and enough room for extra magazines and IFAK. The soft armor plate is built great and fits perfect in the backpack. You won’t be disappointed

Counteract 15

Got this as I was looking for a compact EDC with the ability to still have my tablet and work necessities. This pack is perfect and gets the job done while the ballistic panel provides some extra safety. Definitely recommend this pack and panel bundle.

Amazing product

Not only is the bag one of my favorite EDC bags so far, but the armored plate that I got with a bundle fits in all of my other backpacks as well. My only grip with the bag is i wish i could Tighten the strap just a little bit more

Backpack w/Armor

While really great when running like a rabbit away from the shooting will not protect me when facing the bad guy. I've got to figure out how to get this onto my chest instead of my back. IIIA armor is lightweight and what I'm looking for, just have to figure our the 'rest of the story'!!

Perfect EDC bag

This is the perfect EDC bag in my opinion. It does not look tactical and the general person would be unaware of what it contains. The outer material of the bag is very nice and seems to be weather resistant. I’m able to carry all the essentials to include administrative material, a full IFAK, extra handcuffs, flashlight, multitool, and my edc weapon/extra mags. I’ve taken this bag to the gun range and practiced emergency drills. With a little practice, you can utilize this bag in a quick, effective, and (most importantly) a safe manner. The bag and armor are big enough to cover my front torso vitals should I choose to front face this bag in an emergency situation. I highly recommend.

Everyday carry

Was looking for a good edc bag and this one does great. The material is strong and it makes with holding my gear easier and more supportive. The added body armor is a good plus.

Everyday carry / everyday protection sling bag

Everyday armor protection nicely hidden in a sling bag. Gun & armor to protect me. The bag, sleek in design yet comfortable. A must have for the CCW user.

Really nice

EDC Option for Off-Body Carry

I recently purchased the Viktos Counteract 15 package from Premier Body Armor as an option for EDC carry when I can't appendix carry. PBA's armor fits perfectly into the Viktos backpack. I'm 6'5" and was worried the Counteract 15 would be too small, but the size is great. Backpack is slim, carries a Macbook inside with room for other items, and has a few other pockets for TQ, mags, and sunglasses. Highly recommend both the Viktos pack and PBA's body armor insert!

delivered quickly as advertised

item arrived well packaged and in a timely manner

a very good product

I would buy this product again

Good decision

I’m very pleased with the product in terms of quality and fit.

Viktos 2 sling bag

Works great, wish it was a little bigger but it holds everything I normally carry allowing me to not have my pockets filled with stuff. Definitely would recommend.

Plain Clothes Carry

I use this during my daily duties…fits my needs and carries my necessities…added piece of mind with armor…highly recommended

Just right

So ive owned an assortment of edc bags and during my purchases ive found either the bag was too small to accommodate a light bearing holster and than you have others that just seem like a regular backpack to be going out and about which seemed too much at times. This bag here fits that perfect in between not too big not too small just perfect for me. Fits a proper holster and along with the plate its a formidable combo. Its not too heavy either it gives me confidence walking outside my door. After a gun,wml,plate,a mag, and some med gear it can become heavy so pack accordingly. Would recommend to anyone highly premier did an swesome job with the fitment of the plate it even keeps the shape of the bag sturdy.
