Just a few real-world reviews about our bulletproof backpack
WillardPleased!
I purchased both the Switchblade and the First Responder. The Switchback is the smaller of the two. What I would call a "day pack". I got the grey color as less attention getting. The bag seems well made and durable. The 3A armor loads easily and I had no problems deploying. Several pockets that can hold a laptop and other everyday items. I can recommend and glad I purchased. The only slight compliant is the Velcro on the waist belt doesn't meet the carrier (on me at least), but this is minor The carrier still stays put pretty well. The First Responder is aptly named. A larger bag that will hold the gear needed for an emergency response. Quick to don and the Velco waist belt holds the armor securely in place. The Level 3 armor is a bit more cumbersome than the 3A but I managed to deploy easily after the first 1-2 attempts. In all, I am pleased with both bags and glad I purchased. I can recommend without reservation.
Frankie McRaeGood Overall Bag
We are in the tactical self-defense business here at Raidon Tactics, and this bag is one of many we have used in the past. The stitching and overall quality is good. The size of the storage compartment is excellent and provides the most storage room of any bag we have seen while not being too bulky. The deployability is excellent, However, the waist/belly band is not stowable and too bulky, as well as stitched behind the shoulder straps making it impossible to tuck them out of the way without modifications. The overall bag has a militarized look which can be a disadvantage for concealment. My suggestion would be to make it out of wax canvas to give it a more civilian "satchel" look.

Nathan JohnsonJust Got It...
I bought this for my daughter who is working in a local hotel front desk for peace of mind for me mostly. The deployment is simple and effective for her. I've not tried with any accessories on the front plate carrier yet to see if there is a negative effect. I like the size of the pack, if might be a little large for her but time will tell. There are a few things I would suggest on the pack: - It would have been nice to had a closure on the rear plate carrier, the pouch has a closure but once you insert the plate it's no longer effective. - The zippers need pulls on them, we quickly added paracord to correct but she had issue without them . Also the front most small compartment's zipper would be better suited it if were the same as the main's larger tooth zipper. - The main compartment is large, would like to see a padded laptop section separately zipped off from the main. Regards, Nate Johnson
PierreGreat Bag Use it Every Day!!
I bought the first responder and am using it daily! I have used body armor before in a hot environment I ended up using it only at night, but this bag I can hang it to the back of front passenger seat protecting the passenger and put it on dismounting daily no one is the wiser. I cannot be happier it is perfect. As an addition you can add rifle plates on top of the llla soft panels as needed. The front chest plate has molly which converts to a range rig and range bag for a large pistol or pdw. Very happy with it a great tool for protection anywhere. God Bless - Pierre

D McKeeverSmall Price to Pay for Safety...
My boys feel safer and have no issues with their new protective backpacks. The weight is more than they expected, but since they dont have to carry books anymore in lieu of a laptop, it all balanced out. A small price to pay for safety.
Ed ChavezDifferent Times
The concept is outstanding and really like that you can use different sizes of soft armor. The pack is comfortable, spacious, and sturdy enough for the job. There are other packs out there; but this pack is the most innovative. Recommended.
Dennis KurianGood Pack
Bought this for my daughter for High School. I was surprised at the weight of the plates. They are very light. Setup was fairly easy. So far my daughter has no complaints but she has only been carrying it for 3 school days.
Marc H. Tacoma, Washington USASmall small price for peace of mind
I'm a grandpa just trying to cover base here for the kids; product is great - I especially like the durability of the construction. Discrete and to the point. One less worry in a time full of worries.
Ann M. Phoenix, AZ USAA Practical gift for unpractical times.
This is a Christmas gift, so he won't see it til then, but being young in this crazy world, another layer of security gives us both piece of mind, Its not that heavy to fit into his current backpack.
Ken, A. Cocoa Beach, Florida USASimply awesome!
First Responder is such a practical , well developed product with attention to detail such as the magnetic closures. Ample room for storage and comfortable when fully deployed. Great job!
Marlena C. Miami, Florida USAGreat customer service!
I live in a condo and somehow when filling out the address info on my order the unit number did not autofill as it usually does so my order was sent back. I reached out to customer service and Greg was super helpful in getting the address updated and sent me the package again without charging me for the additional shipping. Thanks again Greg!

I have to tell you - I love showing this thing off. The guys at the range love it...I should have bought 10 more! It took a little while to get, but was definitely worth the wait.

Nick B. New York, N.Y. USAPerfect Travel Bag
I travel a lot for work and it's like having insurance, I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
