Premier Body Armor 10X17.5″ IIIA Ballistic Panel For Vertx Commuter Sling 2.0
The Premier Armor 10X17.5 Panel is a IIIA rated ballistic panel. This panel is purpose built to seamlessly integrate into the Vertx Commuter Sling 2.0. The overall measurement of this panel is approximately 10″X17.5″ and can fit any bag that has room for it. Body armor is a natural right of free humans and is a great passive means of protection. Passive means that it is there for you and ready at all times. While it is important to have other fighting tools and capabilities, armor adds yet another layer of defense.
Designed to protect against the most common threats you might face
The Premier Armor 10X17.5 panel is stab and slash resistant. Most people will only consider ballistic protection, but criminals operate with a host of different weapons. These IIIA panels add a layer of protection against knives and cutting weapons. This armor panel also affords protection against the most common calibers including:
- 9mm
- .357 magnum
- .44 magnum
- 12 gauge buckshot
- 12 gauge slugs
IIIA armor is a perfect balance of capability, fitment, weight, and comfort for daily carry
IIIA armor will not protect against ALL threats; However, it will add a comfortable, easily worn level of defense that you might not have had previously. Most criminals who choose firearms will use handguns. Most violent crime involving firearms in general uses handguns. It is no secret that we are passionate about daily bag carry, having ballistic panels in your bag adds yet another tool to your toolbox. Defense of self and others is extremely risky, we want to stack as many odds in our favor as possible.
When considering implementing armor into your daily carry, it must be easily added and must be discreet/comfortable. The soft ballistic panels by Premier Armor check all our boxes and allow us to integrate armor in a non-invasive way. While we also believe that free Americans should consider level IV or other hard special threat plates, level IIIA is a great place to start. Integrate soft body armor into your kit today to add that extra layer of passive defense to yourself and your loved ones.

5.) Can I travel outside the US with my body armor?
Answer: Body armor is ITAR controlled at the federal level. Exporting (or brining/shipping/taking) it outside of the country without prior permission from the federal government is illegal. Body armor should ONLY be used inside the US.
6.) What protection does level IIIA afford me?

7.) Can I fly with this ballistic armor panel?
Answer: According to Premier Body Armor these soft panels are in fact TSA approved. We would recommend double checking before your flight on the airline website prior to flying.
8.) Should I get soft panels like this or hard level IV plates?
Answer: It depends on your needs and situation. In our opinion, it makes a ton of sense to get a bag setup with a discreet rifle and loadout first, then move into other types of gear. Chest rigs, plate carriers, helmets and all other equipment are important tools of free citizens as well. We think it is all important. If you have the budget, having a plate carrier with rifle rated plates is a great idea. If you are just starting out, find yourself in urban areas, and want a fully equipped bag, armor panels like these make a ton of sense.
