There are times when tactical armor, even concealed armor, is not appropriate but this does not mean protection is not needed. Whether it is because of the clothing you will be wearing, the setting you will be in, or the need to remain inconspicuous National Body Armor's Backpack Armor Inserts offer another option to ensure ballistic protection is still close at hand.
Perfect for the business executive, close protection professional, plain-clothed law enforcement officer, or anyone who desires undetected ballistic protection. The lightweight, easily concealed design allows these inserts to be added to almost any backpack, briefcase, purse, or laptop bag. They are constructed from the same NIJ Certified materials as our traditional vest in a package that is far more concealable.
These inserts are available in two sizes, 10"x14 or 12"x17", and three weight options (light, lighter, or lightest) each offering NIJ Level IIIA or Level IIIA+ protection. They can be added to almost any carry-size bag, backpack, purse, attaché, or laptop case. The slim, tapered profile and unobtrusive design allow for a highly concealable means of always having lightweight ballistic protection close at hand.
Backed by the National Body Armor Warranty. Each carrier is warranted against defects in workmanship or materials for 24 months from the date of purchase. Panels are warranted for 5 years from the date of purchase to conform to minimum NIJ protocol in an actual confrontation. Please refer to the National Body Armor Warranty page for specific requirements and limitations
Protection you can trust. Each of these inserts is constructed from materials that meet NIJ Level IIIA or Level IIIA+, depending on the weight option selected. This means that you will always have protection capable of defeating multiple threats from all common handguns including .357, .44 Mag., and 5.7x28.
A price you can afford we offer several payment options including 4 interest-free installment payments, ShopPay, PayPal Credit, and government purchase orders.

I purchased this insert for my son’s school backpack, a North Face Jester. The fit is perfect, and I’m satisfied with my purchase. I had previously sought to purchase a similar item from another retailer, but the sale was canceled due to availability issues. Body Armor Direct sent the product well ahead of their stated delivery estimates.
I feel safer when driving with what is going on in today’s society. Back pack is always with me
I totally like the inserts. I have one in each grandchild's backpack, one for my daughter, and one in my computer bag and camera bag. Two in my hiking backpack.
I have one of each size. Great product.
Better to have it & not need it than to need it & not have it. Fits perfectly on my everyday backpack
