It is a \u201cbulletproof\u201d insert that can be put inside a backpack.&nbsp; Giving the wearer some ballistic protection.&nbsp; This one being the large universal fit, it measures 11\u201d x 16.5\u201d x .22\u201d and weighs 1.76 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to bulletproof ratings, this armor provides Lvl IIIA protection.&nbsp; What does that mean?&nbsp; Well it conforms with the NIJ Ballistic Standards for said rating.&nbsp; Still not clear right?&nbsp; Well the protocol goes into a series of tests involving different calibers and criteria for how it is to be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-6-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" class=\"wp-image-146414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-6-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-6-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-6-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-6-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-6.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Premier Body Armor Backpack Inserts immediately immediately up-armor your pack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In layman\u2019s terms, Lvl IIIA will generally stop most common handgun calibers.&nbsp; From 9mm, to 40 S&amp;W, .357 Sig and 44 Magnum.&nbsp; It won\u2019t however stop all those calibers depending on bullet design.&nbsp; It will stop most of your FMJ and Hollow Point projectiles.&nbsp; However when trying some solid copper bear rounds, literally designed for deep penetration, I found the G9 Woodsman Bullets to penetrate.&nbsp; Fortunately most people don\u2019t keep pistols loaded with bear rounds, in part because of the liability of over-penetration\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"476\" title=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-18-1024x476.jpg\" alt=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" class=\"wp-image-146415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-18-1024x476.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-18-400x186.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-18-150x70.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-18-768x357.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-18.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>In my testing, the Woodsman solid copper bullets, designed for deep penetration, defeated the IIIA Armor Insert.  It stopped the other FMJ and hollow point bullets as expected.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about use for a minute.&nbsp; Who doesn\u2019t want to have some ballistic protection?&nbsp; I mean really, has anyone ever said, \u201cI\u2019m glad I\u2019m not bulletproof\u201d?&nbsp; These Backpack Inserts add meaningful protection and are really easy to incorporate into your life.&nbsp; Literally slide one into your pack that you carry and you have ballistic protection. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of you are probably thinking to yourself, that is great, but now just my back is protected.&nbsp; This is where we get into the actual use and training side of it.&nbsp; Because yes, as you wear the pack, the ballistic protection is on your back.&nbsp; Which in fairness, isn\u2019t without merit.&nbsp; Because in a lot of circumstances, the right answer may be to move away from the danger, in which case your back is protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if you need to move towards the danger?&nbsp; Well, there are a couple of options.&nbsp; On the one hand, you can reverse your backpack.&nbsp; Wearing it on the front of your body so that the ballistic insert covers your vitals.&nbsp; Personally, I\u2019m not a huge fan of this.&nbsp; While it does help protect you and potentially gives you access to the contents of your backpack, it is awkward.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-20-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" class=\"wp-image-146416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-20-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-20-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-20-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-20-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-20.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>It takes some dedicated training, but you can get pretty quick with unslinging the pack while drawing from concealment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The way I prefer to use the Backpack \/ Ballistic Insert, is like a shield.&nbsp; By removing the backpack and holding it across your body, you can effectively keep more vitals protected, to include parts of your head depending on how you position it.&nbsp; This to me is where the Backpack Insert really shines.&nbsp; I will say, there is a learning curve and training involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one thing, pack selection becomes important.&nbsp; Not all backpacks are created equal.&nbsp; Some are much more conducive to being held and used like a shield.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, Vertx makes some that are designed with just such a use in mind, like the Gamut Overland Pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other piece, is training.&nbsp; How quickly you can get the pack into a shield position under stress with lateral movement?&nbsp; And on top of that, how proficient are you with shooting one handed?&nbsp; Both of these are totally doable, but require some dedicated training.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\" title=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-13-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" class=\"wp-image-146417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-13-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-13-400x208.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-13-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-13-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-13.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>For me, the shield method is the most beneficial use of the armor insert.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>And lastly, while it is an unfortunate subject, the fact remains sick and broken people have gone into schools and shot helpless kids and staff.&nbsp; If you\u2019ve discussed with your kids what their course of action is, be it to run or hide, this provides a level of protection for them and some peace of mind for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I think the most value from the ballistic backpack inserts comes with using them as a shield, they are a value add across the board.&nbsp; Lots of people carry backpacks daily as part of their routine.&nbsp; Why not have some ballistic protection on you?&nbsp; And if you have a \u201cGo Bag\u201d that maybe has a compact carbine or AR Pistol, again, why not have some ballistic protection on board as well?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Premier Body Armor Lvl IIIA Backpack Insert\" class=\"wp-image-146418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-1-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-1-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/backpack-insert-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>If you already are carrying a gun in a bag, armor seems like the next logical thing&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Premier Body Armor offers a number of different Universal Fit Backpack Inserts to fit your existing backpack.&nbsp;
