    The perfect fit for SOC Backpacks!

    My wife recently joined me on her navy journey and needed a good drill bag. With the recent terrorist attack on new years, I decided to give her a little more protection while she travels and executes her duties. Her job will be putting her in the public view. I am more than impressed with the perfect fit and how lightweight it is. I just used a tape measure on the bag to order the right size. When I got it, I was a little concerned it wouldn't fit but I was completely wrong.

    Not inconvenient

    There are a number of other body armor brands out there you could purchase (most at a bit of a cheaper cost). However, I mainly went with this brand because of the tests performed on YouTube, which demonstrate its reliability and ability to withstand multiple bullet rounds.

    Statistics do show that you have a very slim chance of getting caught up in a school shooting. Still, the peace of mind is big. With this brand I know it is dependable. And, the shield is so light weight that it barely makes a difference in my backpack. It's certainly not inconvenient to carry.

    On another note, I probably should have ordered a size larger (I got 10 x 15), but the size still shields my essential organs (and that's what's important).
