Covert Backpack Body Armor System w/ Front + Rear NIJ III UHMWPE Rigid 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.
This vest utilizes lvl. III UHMWPE hard armor panels on the front and rear to protect the wearer from incoming rounds and stabbing or blunt force trauma. Hardened UHMWPE inserts protect the wearer from a wide variety of threats as well as the kinetic energy of incoming rounds which can be just as deadly.
Included with this vest are two 10inx12in UHMWPE armor panels for front and rear protection.
Other forms of rigid armor plates are excellent at stopping bullets but can be susceptible to spalling or shattering which can injure the wearer and render the armor useless after being shot.
UHMWPE is inherently anti-spalling and shatter resistant. Soft armor can stop a bullet but the remaining force can still be enough to break bones or knock the wind out of the wearer, either of which can be fatal in a gunfight.
Without included front and rear plates this vest is rated not armored.
The vest is form fitting with multiple adjustment points and heavy duty Velcro straps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

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 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.
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene has a higher impact strength than any other thermoplastic in the world and is the top of the line in body armor
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.
To qualify as NIJ level III, armor plates must completely stop six 7.62x51mm M80 rounds from penetrating the plate with less than 44mm of back face deformation for the first two shots.
