As described

Dimensions match my laptop so I knew it would fit. At only a pound I'm used to carrying it after just a few days. Since it's only for pistols, I did just order a rifle rated shield just in case but it weighs 5lbs and a lot more $$. Trying to keep ahead of the crazy. I won't know for sure how good it is until someone takes a shot at me.

First off ,, I’d like to thank the fantastic customer service. I absolutely recommend this product.. I love its light weight and ergonomics of the inserts. Very fast shipping and easy to carry. I must’ve done reviews on about 6-7 different brands and came to making my choice with Omni Protex.. I would definitely do business with them again and again… 🇺🇸 stay safe everyone and God Bless 🇺🇸

Seems like a great product. The gentleman that sold it to me was knowledgeable and had good insight.

Light Weight and Fits Well

I've put my OPX Elite Soft Backpack Armor IIIA in my "get home bag". It weighed about 40 lbs before adding the armor pad. Was glad it was so light. Fit neatly into the compartment closest to my back and did not increase my exertion/ persperation. Hopefully, will never need it but it gives me some peace of mind knowing it is there covering my back.

Best quality and value!

OMNIPROTEX has beyond comparible quality. I purchased two, one for each of my children to give me more peace of mind while they are at school. It fit their backpacks perfectly and is so light wait they couldn't tell the difference and it doesn't take up room for their books. And the price is unbeatable!
