This backpack also weighs less than 3 pounds in its lightest configuration and comes ready to use. The armor is sewn into the pack, so you never have to worry about forgetting to install your armor or having it shift during use. Additionally, there is plenty of storage for your laptop and other personal gear. The generously sized primary compartment features a laptop sleeve, compatible with nearly all laptops. Perfect for all-around general use. Hypalon reinforced bottom and accented front upper pocket (is designed for compatibility with the largest smartphones on the market, including their cases) The large front lower pocket is complete with a key lanyard with hook, and retention pockets for pens and other accessories. It will easily accommodate a full-sized pistol for concealment. The lined top pocket is located right next to the backpack drag handle. This pocket is lined on the inside with a non-scratch soft fabric and is ideal for storing your sunglasses, wallet, keys, or other accessories. If you're looking to get rifle-rated protection but for less weight, then our P2 and A3 body armor are add-ons worth considering. Simply insert one plate into the laptop pocket for added protection.
