Phoenix Armored Backpack
Your best armor is the armor you keep with you: Make that armor count with the Phoenix Backpack. Using its integrated Level IIIA soft armor panel, the Phoenix stops multiple hits from handgun-rated threats, the rounds used in 95% of shooting incidents. You already take your backpack everywhere- make it a tool to protect yourself as well. Discreet and lightweight protection, always with you.
Also available as an upgrade to the backpack is a built-in Trauma Pad to mitigate the blunt force impact of incoming rounds.
The Phoenix Armored Backpack is a low-profile armor system that weighs 3.15 pounds. It provides a bullet-resistant Level IIIA soft armor panel, protection which covers multiple hits of 230GR .44 Magnum @ 1,430 FPS (and all lesser threats). The backpack has a soft armor panel sewn into the back layer of the pack.
The Phoenix also has a generously sized main compartment which conceals a large laptop sleeve. The laptop sleeve can be repurposed as a rifle-rated armor pocket, allowing the insertion of any 10”x12” size plate for upgraded protection. The large external accessory pocket includes a key lanyard with hook retention flaps to quickly facilitate needed gear.
The optional Trauma Pad upgrade, designed to be worn in conjunction with the armor, is a simple way to reduce the amount of energy transfer to your body, reducing felt energy through your backpack and mitigating backface deformation.

Also, Armored Backpacks pass through TSA censors without notice—uninhibited protection during travel. Soft armor carries no concern to them, while hard armor occasionally may get double-checked, though standard procedure is to let hard armor through as well.
