Shoulder straps are fully padded for all-day comfort, keeping the pack stable during walks, transit, and physical activity between classes. The exterior profile is intentionally low-key: nothing on the outside signals ballistic capability, which keeps the pack appropriate for school environments and public spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quick-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guard Dog Security\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e ProShield Scout Youth Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBallistic rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tested to NIJ Level IIIA threat parameters (NIJ-STD-0108.01); stops 9mm FMJ and .44 Magnum JHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.27 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 liters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLaptop pocket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, padded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder straps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully padded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime (register within 30 days of purchase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable colors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this backpack be shipped to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can ship to most US states. Body armor shipping restrictions apply in New York and Connecticut. Under 18 U.S.C. § 931, anyone with a federal felony conviction for a crime of violence is prohibited from purchasing or possessing body armor. Contact us if you have questions about your state before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat NIJ level is the ballistic panel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel is tested to NIJ Level IIIA threat parameters under NIJ-STD-0108.01. That covers 9mm full metal jacket and .44 Magnum jacketed hollow point — the two reference threats at the IIIA level. It is the highest handgun-rated tier in the NIJ framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this panel stop rifle rounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. NIJ Level IIIA covers handgun threats only. It does not defeat rifle calibers such as 5.56x45 NATO, 7.62x39, or .308 Winchester. Stopping rifle rounds requires a hard armor plate at Level III or Level IV, which is not included with this pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ballistic panel removable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vendor page does not specify whether the panel is sewn in or removable. Contact us for confirmation before purchase if this is important to your use case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow heavy is the bag with the panel installed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete pack with the ballistic panel installed weighs 1.27 lbs — described as only ounces more than a comparable non-armored backpack of the same size. For a youth user carrying books and supplies all day, that difference is minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size laptop fits inside?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe padded laptop pocket is designed to fit a laptop or tablet. Exact interior dimensions of the laptop sleeve are not published. Most standard 13-inch to 15-inch laptops should fit; contact us to confirm compatibility with a specific device before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Guard Dog Security","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":29361702174817,"sku":"GDS-BP-GDPSS-BK","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":29361723048033,"sku":"GDS-BP-GDPSS-PK","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Teal","offer_id":29361723080801,"sku":"GDS-BP-GDPSS-TL","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/image-01_fa677bce-aec6-4532-8127-a9e6a16653f5.jpg?v=1779853749"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/collections\/guard-dog-security-664449.jpg?v=1737706702","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/collections\/guard-dog-security\/tier1.oembed","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
