Ballistic Inserts For Vertx Bags

Premier Body Armor has just announced its expansion of the Level III A protective lightweight ballistic-panel line, in collaboration with Vertx. These panels are designed to fit inside of Vertx’s latest backpack products from the new Siege Collection including the Vertx Siege Slong and Siege Pack.

Premier Body Armor’s newest Vertx-compatible ballistic panels are rated to protect the wearer from common handgun rounds up to .44 Mag. These panels’ advanced Level IIIA construction are designed to integrate with items in the Siege collection in a seamless manner to remain out of the wearer’s way. Premier Body Armor manufactures its ballistic panels in the United States and builds them from the same durable materials that are found in the company’s ballistic vests. These panels are only .22 inches thick and weigh roughly one pound. Each panel is also contoured to maintain the Vertx’s bag’s lines and tactical profile. They’re also TSA approved which makes traveling easy.

“Our long-standing partnership with Vertx has enabled us to perfect the process of creating custom ballistic solutions for those who value both readiness and reliability,” said Alex Stewart, president of Premier Body Armor. “With the new Siege Collection, we’re offering mission-focused protection that adapts seamlessly to urban settings and more remote environments alike, delivering discreet defense without compromising comfort. It’s a collaboration built on purpose, precision, and the confidence to move through each day ready for whatever comes next.”

Premier Body Armor sells these ballistic panels either separately or as bundles with Vertx packs, and the panels have a five-year warranty,
