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.
