Tacticalshit was featured in a video on the KSDK news site regarding the sale of bullet proof backbacks for back to school. The bag or should we say armor in question is the PakProtect plates.

Our loved ones include not only our children but our husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters… We should all be prepared for the unthinkable.

Additionally your bags contents in front of the armor may provide additional protection.
