Fits nicely, an I tested it personally, at 15 feet with my 9mm handgun, FMJ penetrated first layer and splattered, did not come thru layer next to skin.
Great product. I did order one size smaller than my regular size and it fits just right. I put on a polo shirt and you could hardly see it. My wife even suggested I get one because I just took over Lead position of our Security/Safety Team. Imagine that hahaha!
Now I’m recommending this product to my friends!
The shield fits inside my eberlestock sling perfectly. Lightweight and you don’t even know it’s there!
When I initially purchased my Vertx Everyday FannyPack+ I saw the premier armor plates that were offered for the Vertx products as a gimmick more than anything practical. As I tried out the bag I found the crossbody position to have the most utility, and in the crossbody position it covers my heart and a large portion of my left lung. Then the realization dawned on me, I already carry a firearm for personal protection in the worst case scenario; if I can add something unobtrusive that can aid in that personal protection why aren't I?
When I went to the premier page I was pretty quickly able to find the correct size panel for my bag. As far as armor panels are concerned I am a complete novice with no basis for pricing but I found the price ($109 + shipping) to be agreeable for soft armor that should fit my bag without hiccups. After placing my order I realized I had shipped my panel to an incorrect address, needless to say support was friendly and helpful in rectifying the issue when I called the next morning. A few days later, my soft panel came in the mail to the correct address.
Having never owned any type of body armor initially I was unsure of what to expect beyond what it looked like. The panel was lightweight and particularly flexible, as advertised the panel had the hook and loop for adhering to the inside of the bag on one side and the loop for holsters or whatever other accessories you want to place on the bag in the other. The actual process for installation is seamless, you open the bag and stick the panel inside. I am a perfectionist and had to have it perfectly center which took a few tries, but after a little bit of finagling I was able to get it to stick perfectly center; I also played with the zippers moving back and fourth for longer than I should have to make sure the panel didn't interfere with opening and closing the bag which I can confidently say that it didn't. My firearms that I carry in my FannyPack+ still fit with plenty of room to spare after placing the soft panel inside. Some days my bag is heavier than others, the largest handgun I carry weighs nearly 33 ounces; subjectively I don't feel that the soft panel adds noticeable of significant weight to the bag that affects my comfort or the ability to wear it. I would say the premier soft panel even adds some rigidity to the back of the bag giving it better contact with my chest and making it easier to carry.
I believe Premier has offered a superb product, their insert truly is something that is unobtrusive that provides some protection to a vital area should I ever be put into a bad situation. I will be giving Premier my business again and if you're looking for soft armor for your Vertx Fanny Packs, I would suggest you do too.
Lightweight and comfortable, easily concealable under a t-shirt. I'm also a big guy a clock in at 310 and it fits perfect.
First time ordering from Premier was an extremely satisfying experience, from product selection, customer service, & shipping(Canada), every step was professionally executed.
The Buffalo Armory plates are top notch quality from fit & finish to form & comfort, night & day from my single curve.
Ty Preimer for partnering with buisnesses that uphold your standards for protection.
I would not hesitate to be a returning customer at Premier or Buffalo Armory
This bag is great I carry my Legion 365 with a kydex insert the draw time with bag isn’t to bad great zippers. I own 4 of these bags in different color. My bag has everything I need if I was to roll up to an active shooter and my kids school or some where else. The quality is amazing also.
The quality and materials used are top notch. The armor is very light and comfortable. The breathable and stretchable shirt feels very natural.
Everyone needs extra Armor T-Shirts. Do not skip protection because your gear is dirty or sweaty and you are waiting for the laundry do be done. Everyday Armor T-Shirts are extremely well made, comfortable and durable. They get the job done.
back up for my back up so that I can use while the other is being washed. Fits true to size and I am 5'4 and weight 133lbs and the XS is perfect for me. This is how stealth and bad A$$ Premier Body Armor has curated such a great product. Life saving bullet proof shirt with side plates/pockets for extra safety and you can't even tell it's all hidden under my crop top teddy bear shirt, that's how stealth this product is. Lifesaving and brilliant.
Love this vest super easy to put on and take off I use it everyday for my law enforcement job. The vest is super comfortable and lightweight I highly recommend buying this product!
The fit is perfect. I watched several review videos and knew I had to get it.
I work as a CPO in high-risk areas, your products are lifesaving, customer service is super fast and responsive, thank you for your products.
Joseph and Jason were extremely helpful with my purchase and extremely helpful after the purchase helping me put the armor together.

I run this panel in a Savior 3L, it fits fantastic! If you use a Savior for your EDC in the three liter form factor: this is the threat protection you need!
Great product, fast shipping, I will definitely be back!!
Stay safe!
Surprisingly enough it fits well for my size 6’5” 340 pounds I tried it on wore it all day never rode up never started getting itchy didn’t feel wet from sweat. I can see myself wearing it for an extended period of time whether just doing a quick run to the range or out in the summer heat hunting on the open range. Super light super comfortable well worth the pocket change it cost.
So, this is defiantly better than nothing if you’re using the Eberlestock Fade Flex as a cross body sling bag. This will cover your sternum nicely and thus, the heart. Outside that you’re taking the hit.
It fits the bag, but the dimension for my panel is *slightly* off. Maybe a fraction of an inch from letting the zippers slide at 100% smoothness (probably 99% smoothness to the zippers with the panel inserted). This is really a nitpick and YMV as the bags likely have manufacturing tolerances as well.
Overall, I would recommend it if you want some protection. Just understand this will not protect as much on an adult. For a small child, it would likely cover more.
This body armor is comfortable to wear as an undershirt. It is also very concealable when wearing a shirt over it. Even a t-shirt fits nicely under it. I would recommend sizing down as it suggests for a nice, concealable fit. I bought an extra shirt/carrier so I would always have a clean one to wear. I wear this while on security for my local church gatherings.
As a public figure, protection is important, but concealment is equally critical. Of all the products I’ve tried, the Everyday T stands head and shoulders above the rest. Its minimal visibility under a regular shirt and complete invisibility under a sport coat make it the ideal choice for anyone who spends significant time in public settings.
The customer service is exceptional, which only adds to the overall experience. Well done—I’ll be telling all my friends about it.
Quality defensive spray. The same brand as used in most prisons! Highly recommend
this is my 3rd Premier Armor insert, this is absolutely a must have for travel and EDC packs and slings. i use my pack for traveling and this was also in my previous Vertx backpack, this time i also got one for my EDC fade sling at the same time with this Transport21 insert. armored backpacks are great for being out in the wild and needing get out of dodge. but for slings they are practically a must. if you swing your pack around th the front of adjusted correctly now you have soft armor protecting your High Thoracic Cavity.
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.
I picked up the Premier Body Armor soft armor insert for my Vertx Fanny Pack 2.0+, and I’ve got to say this thing quietly upgraded my EDC loadout from “prepared guy” to “prepared guy with side quests unlocked.”
Fitment is dead on. It slides into the Vertx like it was issued by some secret squirrel procurement department and stays put without turning the bag into a tactical brick. I was expecting something stiff and awkward that would print like I was smuggling a brick of….. around town, but nope. It keeps the low-profile look while adding an extra layer of “life insurance.”
Comfort-wise, I forget it’s even there. The pack still rides comfortably whether I’m walking around, driving, or conducting highly classified missions to Target with my wife. Mobility stays good, and I’m not waddling around like I’m wearing medieval armor under a fanny pack.
The best part is the peace of mind. Hopefully this thing only ever stops aggressive shopping carts and surprise attacks from rogue Lego pieces on the floor, but having armor integrated into your EDC setup is one of those “rather have it and not need it” additions.
Tactical assessment:
Mission capability: Excellent
Concealment: High speed, low drag
Comfort: Better than expected
Operator status after installation: Increased approximately 37%
Likelihood of suddenly using words like “situational awareness” in normal conversations: Extremely high
Final verdict: If you’re running a Vertx Fanny Pack 2.0+ and want to add capability without sacrificing comfort or concealment, this insert earns a solid 5/5 tactical chicken tenders. Stay alert, stay dangerous, and maintain positive control of your snacks.
Purchased for safety team at my church. Haven't worn it yet.
