Customer Reviews
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.
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!
Had 9mm, 22LR, 5.56 and 223 to test at the range and the IIIA+ plate stopped the 9mm and 22LR perfectly even though it did not stop the 223 or 556 rounds (it was not expected to). But even with a few holes from the 223 and 556, the rest of the plate stopped the 9mm and 22LR rounds perfectly
It’s light and fits well.
Fits perfect in my computer backpack and is a relief knowing it is there!
