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.

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?

For years, we've partnered with Vertx 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.

Premier Body Armor has designed custom-fit inserts for these Vertx bags:

  • Siege Pack & Siege Sling
  • Ghost Pack & Ghost Sling
  • Everyday Fanny Pack
  • Gamut (Gen 2 & Gen 3)
  • Commuter Sling (Gen 2 & Gen 3)
  • Ready Pack (Gen 2 & Gen 3)
  • Transit Sling

  • Basecamp
  • Navigator
  • MP Waist Pack
  • Long Walks 28L & 15L
  • EDC Essential Sling
  • VTAC Rifle Scabbard & Pistol Scabbard

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.

Lightweight like it’s not even there!

And that is a good thing. I keep this in my urban ghost everyday at work and between meetings, it takes up minimal room in my backpack throughout the day but am always thankful I have it if ever needed. Bottom line it does its job and gives me the confidence I'm protected while not hindering my day to day work.
