The Premier Body Armor BPP9049 transforms the Vertx Navigator Sling into a discreet personal protection system. This ballistic panel delivers Level IIIA protection while maintaining the low profile and functionality of a standard backpack.
What Makes This Different

The multi-layered Kevlar core stops handgun threats up to .44 Magnum while weighing just 1.8 pounds. The 500D Cordura shell provides abrasion resistance and maintains the pack's original appearance and feel.
