    Healthcare provider

    In these changing times, I find individual preparedness is the key to both peace of mind and confidence as being a protector. Whether it be a natural disaster or a motor vehicle accident, my gear will help serve others while my Premier Body Armor will help serve myself. We all have a responsibility to be ready, and ones EDC is not complete without the added protection of a IIIa vest or armored backpack.

    Back Pack Protection

    I work in healthcare and over the past couple of years there has been a rise in violence against healthcare workers. So, I bought the premier soft body armor to go with a Vertx Gamut pack and a Byrna SD launcher. It is a non lethal self defense weapon legal in all 50 states.
    One of the doctors I work with asked me about my new bag. When I showed her what was in the bag her mouth fell open from surprise. She did not know soft armor like this existed and she is thinking about getting some for herself and her husband.
    I feel safer knowing I have protection with me while at work and when I out and about town.
    An excellent purchase in my opinion.

    Impressed

    Very impressed with how well it fit In the bag. I have the Transit 2.0. Also shipping was very quick and customer service was great when I asked a few questions. Will definitely be buying other products.

    Used in 5.11 bag

    I got this insert for the 5.11 LV10 Sling Bag 2.0 13 liter since there isnā€™t a bag specific insert for it. It just fits in the big main compartment if you push it to the front and close and zip the flap over it. I must have not measured well because I didnā€™t expect it to be such a tight fit but it does fit and this way itā€™s in front of the IFAC I carry in the bag protecting it to some degree too. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase!

    I can tell you Kevlar can save your life! Priemerā€™s ability to integrate IIIA protection into a form that can be with you in your everyday lifeā€¦ at school, at the office, and even onboard an airliner, without drawing attention to itself. Its allways there waiting to stop
    The most common leathal treats in use by those that cause others harm. Whether to cover your vitals as you make your retreat, or in front of you as a shield. With this protection only weighing an average of 2 pounds depending on size, it gives you options in a bad situation.
    Options that can save your life. It also acts to stiffen your backpack, and protect your back from objects with sharp corners and protruding items that would injure you in a fall.
    Even opened, you cannot tell this 11x17ā€ panel is in place in my Vertx Gamut 2.0!
