Padded laptop sleeve. Dual cable ports. Expandable bottle pouch. Multiple handles. Lock compatible zipper. High-visibility interior lining so you can actually find things. Reinforced rear compartment for the Essential Shield.

The Essential Shield is designed to drop seamlessly into our backpacks, this lightweight, flexible ballistic panel provides years of uncompromised protection. Inside every shield is the exact same duty-grade material relied on in active service.

While other brands play word games with overseas sourcing, our ballistic inserts are engineered, tested, and manufactured 100% in the USA. Certified NIJ Level IIIA, it stops projectiles and special threats, giving you peace of mind.
