    Very impressed.

    Very impressed. It gets toasty in the warm weather but not as bad as the last “vest” I had. The white t shirts are perfect. I recommend the side inserts too which I did buy.

    10x15 is actually measured at 10.5x16 - BETTER!

    10x15 is actually measured at 10.5x16, which fit my backpack even better. It is very lightweight and can't even tell with this additional weight. I bought this as a gift for my friend's son who will be teaching 5th grade at an underprivileged school. After playing around with this, I think I'll order a few more for myself and niece. Now only if they make this for stopping rifle rounds with this light weight.

    I bought this backpack insert five years ago for my daughter, and it just resurfaced after she graduated in 2025—still going strong. It was used every single day in a bag that, honestly, was a total mess inside.
    Despite being covered in makeup, glitter, god knows what else, and books being shoved in there, the insert held up incredibly well. I wiped it down with baby wipes, and it cleaned up perfectly—it looks brand new.
    The durability and quality really impressed me. This product gave me peace of mind through the years, and it absolutely delivered. Highly recommend!!!

    :Awesome all around!

    Purchased 2 of these for my nephews entering high school. Was originally going to purchase from another company. After about 2 weeks of dealing with them and their excuses I canceled the order. They said they were made in the US, but I'm pretty sure they were coming from Shenzhen. Overall, the other company gave me a very shady feeling.

    Dealing with Premier was a welcome change. Zero issues ordering. Zero issues on shipping. Zero issues on promised delivery date. Zero issues total.

    Amazing process from start to finish, and I'm VERY confident in these plates, I've seen many Youtube channels actually testing their efficiency in stopping rounds. These will be something hopefully never needed...but if they are, I'm absolutely positive they will perform.

    Recommended 22 stars.

    Insert used in maxpedition riftpoint packpack

    I did a quick measurement and this fits perfectly. Had this Maxpedition Riftpoint CCW bag for years with no armor and thought I would try it out. Insert fits great inside the internal pocket. Bag has slight bulge with full size pistol and armor together but padded enough I can’t complain. I would buy again.

    10x15 Level IIIA Backpack Insert Is Great for protecting my daughter at school

    We fit the 10x15 Level IIIA Backpack Insert into her Jansport backpack in the laptop pouch and she can’t even tell it’s there. Hopefully she will never need to use it! Thank you for providing us with superior protection!

    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.

    Peace of mind and reliability

    I would first off like to thank everyone involved in the creation of these fine products.
    The security I have with the armor helps me know I've got peace of mind. God bless everyone at Premier and thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Bag is from Garage Built Gear)

    Hi there, thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our 10x15 Level IIIA Backpack Insert.

    I'll definitely buy more in the future.

    I didn't know ballistic backpack inserts were a thing... Once I discovered them, I went down a rabbit hole researching it. This was partly motivated by my wife. She is a part time teacher at our kid's school and they held an active shooter training for the school staff. It scared the heck out of me. The inserts are not cheap, but when it comes to our kids safety, who cares what the price is? If I could not afford these, I would still look for one that I could afford. As parents, we want to do whatever is in our power to protect our kids. I know school shootings are such a rare thing.... but, it is a thing now. These have a 5 year warranty, but I really think they will last much longer and the kids will be able to use these as long it fits in the backpack they decide to use. I'm going to start buying these as gifts for my nieces and nephews. As far as the company, I have to say, the processing was fast. The shipping cost and speed to Hawaii was excellent. The packaging was very good.

    Amazing performance, especially for the weight

    We tested this panel with multiple handgun rounds and it did everything it was supposed to. The most impressive aspect was that it weighs next to nothing. Especially compared to other brands.

    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).

    Perfect Fit

    We purchased the Level IIIA 11x16.5 for our son. It fits perfectly in an Under Armour Hustle 5.0 backpack. I hope we never have to find out how well it works, but I am thankful to have the extra protection.

    Fits perfectly in all my bags

    I got 2, one for my backpack and one for my wife’s. It’s very slim and can fit in almost all bags given the dimensions.

    For a discreet PDW

    I placed this level 3A in a Thule 23 liter subterra backpack (where the laptop goes) and the fit is near perfect. Width is perfect but I wish it was a bit taller. The product seems well built and quality although I hope to never have to test it. If you’re a firearm enthusiast body armor of any type should be on your radar. It may help you survive a deadly encounter. I plan to buy the executive vest soon.

    Small price to pay for peace of mind!

    With everything happening in the world, I love the peace of mind that comes from carrying this on campus as a law student and in the future for work. The dimensions are spot on and the insert is so lightweight I do not notice it in my bag at all. The Large fits perfectly in my 25L Eagle Creek backpack with room to spare for my laptop in the back sleeve. Also appreciate the tag on the back with serial number, manufacture date, and warranty so I know when I should replace it in the future.

    Tote Panel

    I bought this panel because it fits perfectly in the Red Rock Outdoor Recon Sling pack. Upgrading the sling bag for 3A is a must for eveyone who wants passive protection from active shooters.

    Thanks for the review Squatch! Most people are surprised at just how many bags the Level IIIA Purse and Tote Panel fits in. Thanks again and stay safe - PBA Team

    Truly a set and forget

    Truly a set and forget.if you’re thinking about price, peace of mind is priceless and armor in my bag gives me just that. I know once my children are schools age they will have a Premier panel watching their backs. One time easy install or not, you can move it around and transfer it easily from pack to pack. Thank you Premier body armor for another great product.
