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?

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 Viktos bags:

  • Upscale2 & Upscale3 Sling
  • Upscale XL
  • Upscale Hip Pak
  • Counteract 15
  • Counteract CCW Sling
  • Counteract CCW Messenger
  • Perimeter 25
  • Perimeter 40
  • Low Key Chest Rig
  • Taculus & Taculus MX Chest Rig

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.

Perfect size bag for church

The bag from Viktos and the recommended soft armor plate are perfect for church. The bag holds my Bible, bleeder kit, spare mag, etc, while the soft armor plate fits perfect in the main compartment. The plate fits secure and is very light weight. The bag can be slung to my front with ease and I feel assured it will offer protection against small arms fire, should I need it. I would highly recommend this setup for anyone wanting an armored discreet carry system.

Upscale3 armored bundle

Hard to beat. All the room you would need for a light day pack. Great truck bag. Only complaint is the water bottle side not being zippered all the way down, but it’s something I can live with. Will definitely be ordering more 12x15 soft armor backpack inserts for multiple other bags for the kids, absolutely top notch. Impressed with the quality, I see these outliving the decade old 5.11 packs that I’m slowing retiring and finding new replacements for.

Also drink pocket is able to hold a 18oz yeti rambler cup for any wondering minds

Great bag and armor

Love the bag, comfortably carries everything I need and looks great. The body armor fits snug and doesn’t bulk out the bag but provides me with a peace of mind while off duty.

Viktos Upscale Sling Insert but for Eberlestock H31 Bandit

This fits in the bladder pouch of the H31 Bandit perfectly. Might be snug to use with the bladder but it has not arrived yet. Its just a few inches short of the top of the bag. No complaints, the product is great in my EDC bag, I feel better knowing its there. Customer service was also top tier helping me with my order so I could travel.
