A backpack is one of the best ways to carry your gear, and with the S2 IIIA soft armor insert from Armored Republic, it can now double as a source of everyday protection. Rated to Level IIIA, this panel is able to stop multiple rounds of .44 Magnum @ 1440 FPS and all lesser threats, meaning it’s capable of addressing just about anything a criminal can conceal on them while in public. This panel is able to be put in the laptop pocket or main compartment of most backpacks on the market. At 15” inches tall and 11” inches wide, this panel provides a larger protective footprint than a plate carrier. The backpack can be worn as normal to provide back side coverage, or worn in the front if needed. At only 1.52 LBS the S2 backpack insert can be worn by anyone of any age.
