Covert Backpack Body Armor System w/ Front + Rear NIJ IIIA UHMWPE Flexible Panels
One Size Fits All
This armor system is designed to function seamlessly as both a bulletproof backpack and tactical vest with MOLLE attachment panel and front and rear ballistic panels.
The backpack can deploy into an armored vest in seconds and in backpack mode the user is protected by two layers of ballistic panels stacked on top of each other.
With it's light weight and ergonomic design you can run, jump, crouch, or fight with the vest deployed and it's breathable design helps you stay cool no matter the climate.
Without included armor plates carrier is non armored.
WHAT IS UHMWPE?
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene also known as UHMWPE, High modulus polyethylene (HMPE), and by the brand names Dyneema and Spectra, is a flexible polyethylene variant with extremely long molecular chains which give the material its trademark strength and toughness.
UHMWPE is lighter than ceramic, steel, and fiberglass armor plates and is non spalling and shatter resistant, a single plate can protect from multiple impacts and it will not rust under any conditions
UHMWPE is also hydrophobic and abrasion resistant with a low friction coefficient and is resistant to many acids and solvents while still retaining its light weight and flexibility.

WHAT IS SPALLING?
Spalling (or fragmentation) in ballistic armor is when a round strikes a piece of hard armor and breaks apart sending bullet shards flying in random directions.
Spalling also describes when a piece of armor shatters on impact and pieces of the armor are driven into the wearer's body by the kinetic energy of the bullet.
Due to its extremely long molecular bonds UHMWPE distributes impact forces better than fiberglass, ceramic, or steel and is vastly more resistant to both spalling and shattering when struck by a projectile.
