Following the success of its initial collaboration with Vertx, Premier Body Armor announces its continued partnership. As a result, the company releases the full line of custom-fit ballistic inserts for Vertx’s Gen 3 bags and slings. So, regardless of the activity and pack size need, you can do it in safety and confidence.
Premier Body Armor and Vertx Continue Collaboration with Full Line
As reported below, Premier Body Armor and Vertx started their collaboration with three Gen 3 bags and slings. The Level IIIA ballistic inserts from Premier Body Armor are the thinnest and lightest on the market, according to the company. Each insert is specially designed to fit perfectly within the hidden armor pockets of Vertx Gen 3 bags and slings.
In addition to the three in our previous report, Premier Body Armor has added seven new panels. As a result, the entire line of new Vertx Gen 3 bags and slings is covered. Almost all of the bags/slings are available as a bundle, but check the site for availability.
If you are in the market for a good backpacking/bugout style pack, there are three new options to choose from. The largest of the three is the Overlander, with 45 liters of space. It fits a 12×18.8-inch panel for maximum protection. Next is the Ruck Roll with 35 liters of storage and an 11×15-inch panel. Finally, the Basecamp offers 30 liters of storage and a 12.5×19-inch panel.
For getting around town or fast grab-and-go options, Vertx’s slings provide protection and quick EDC portability. The largest of the slings is the Commuter, with 22 liters of storage and a 11×16.8-inch panel. Next in line is the Keryx messenger bag with 20 liters of storage and a 11×16.8 panel. Finally, the Transit provides a smaller option with 17 liters of storage and a 11×17.3-inch panel. All three slings feature a CCW compartment for your daily carry pistol.
Finally, for those traversing town and just needing a little something for your EDC is the SOCP Tactical Fanny Pack. With plenty of room for your typical daily needs, the SOCP fits an 8.5×5.5-inch panel as well.
TSA Approved
Meeting NIJ ballistic standards for Level IIIA protection, the ballistic panels are also stab and slash-resistant. Constructed of para-aramid ballistic core and 500 Denier CORDURA outer shell, the panels are just .22-inch thick. Likewise, they are extremely lightweight.
Worth noting is that the ballistic panels are TSA approved. So, if you plan to travel using any of the Vertx bags or slings as your carry on, you won’t need to remove your insert. As a result, you can set it and forget it. This means, every time you reach for your bag/sling, you’re protected.

It’s an unfortunate reality, but rising violent crime is not showing any sign of slowing down. And as long as Democrats keep pushing the same policies that got us here, it won’t any time soon. For this reason, you have to take your safety and that of your family into your own hands. Fortunately, a collaboration between Premier Body Armor and Vertx has you and your family covered. Literally.

Featuring three different size options, the Gen 3 line of products offers the perfect ballistic solution for daily life. If you like off-body carry, each pack features a spacious CCW compartment with a Rapid Access Pull tab. However, the pull tab can be moved to any zipper, providing instant access to any compartment in the pack. As a result, you get a fully customizable EDC setup.
Available in full size (Gamut), Mid-size (Ready Pack), or Small (Navigator Sling), there is something for every need. Each pack has a corresponding ballistic insert designed specifically to fit the dimensions of that pack. Likewise, each ballistic insert meets the NIJ Level IIIA standard and is the thinnest, lightest ballistic protection on the market, according to the company.
With the packs and inserts available separately or as bundles, the packs feature an innocuous and unsuspecting design. Not looking overtly tactical and available in various colors, they will easily blend into any crowd.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Vertx,” said Alex Stewart, President of Premier Body Armor. “This line offers consumers 100% USA made, custom cut armor inserts that maximize the potential of the packs and provide on-the-go ballistic protection. The Gen 3 Vertx line puts a focus on advanced feature sets without compromising the industry-leading CCW DNA that we’ve all come to love.”
Editor’s Note
It is sad that we have to think this way, but we live in an age where we have to consider our children’s safety when we send them to school. Not to mention any time we send them out the door for any reason. With this in mind, the Ready Pack makes a great child’s pack. It is the perfect size for a school pack, sleepover pack, or travel pack. And the inserts are TSA-approved, so they travel well.
Availability
Bundles from the Premier Body Armor Vertx Collaboration are available now with MSRPs of $285.00 – $477.00. For more info, please visit PremierBodyArmor.com.
