Cutting — every format starts as a repeatable blank
A discreet, removable protection insert designed for everyday backpacks. It adds a layer of preparedness to the bag you already own — without changing how it looks or how you carry it.
The insert is in development and testing. We are not taking orders, reservations or deposits at this stage. What you can do today is join the list: you will get dimensions, fit charts, testing updates and the release date before anyone else.
School and campus backpacks. Designed to sit light and thin — easy to place and remove.
13–16 inch laptop backpacks and business totes — our first priority format.
City travel packs and 30–45L bags, for longer days and rougher handling.
The first release focuses on a primary panel for 13–16 inch work backpacks. The formats shown here are development formats; final fit coverage is defined by the first production batch.
26 × 37 cm
Arched top, shaped for the back panel and laptop compartment of a work backpack.
25 × 30 cm
Beveled top corners with a square base — for compact commuter packs and smaller compartments.
26 × 37 cm
Straight-sided full panel — the largest of the three development formats.
Outlines drawn to scale from current development samples. Final dimensions, weights and fit charts are published with the first production batch.
The outlines above are drawings. This is the first Format A panel we actually built — cut, stacked, edge-sealed and covered in our own facility.
Sample panels are left unbranded on purpose. Final dimensions, weight and fit charts are published with the first production batch — not before.
The insert goes into the laptop sleeve or against the back panel — the flattest, most stable part of any backpack, and the part closest to your body.
Nothing is attached, sewn or modified. Slide it in, and the bag looks and works exactly as before. Slide it out in seconds when you do not want it.
Weight, flexibility and comfort are design targets, not afterthoughts — an insert only protects if you actually carry it.
Independently tested at Element U.S. Space & Defense (Belcamp, MD), Project PH00019051, 26 May 2026, to MIL-STD-662F V50 BL(P) under ambient conditions. Test report available on request.
This testing was performed at material level. ArmorEDC products are not NIJ tested, not NIJ certified, and do not appear on the NIJ Compliant Products List. Material performance does not automatically represent the ballistic performance of a finished product.
The NIJ compliance testing program applies to law-enforcement torso body armor models. Bags, backpacks and accessory inserts are outside its scope — no backpack insert from any company is an NIJ certified product. We say this plainly so you can compare products with clear eyes.
