GASTONIA, N.C. – December 5, 2025 – Premier Body Armor announced a new expansion to its custom-fit ballistic backpack insert line - Level IIIA panels cut specifically for Vertx’s latest Gamut Series. The new lineup covers five models: the Gamut 18L Sling, Gamut 22L Sling, Gamut 22L Pack, Gamut 26L Pack, and Gamut 32L Pack. Customers can buy the inserts alone, the Vertx bags on their own, or choose pre-configured armored bundles that combine each pack or sling with its corresponding insert and save 10%.
Built on Premier Body Armor’s experience engineering armor for both law enforcement and everyday carry, the Gamut inserts are precision cut for each bag. That means the panels sit cleanly inside the dedicated armor compartment in each bag, preserving the Gamut line’s low profile look, CCW ready layouts, and fast access features while adding Level IIIA handgun protection for daily use, range days, and travel.
American-Made Performance, Proven Standard
All new Gamut Series inserts share a common ballistic foundation:
? Level IIIA / HG2 soft armor, tested to NIJ 0101.06 handgun threats (including 9mm and .44 Magnum)
? Slim profile at ~0.22 in., backed by a 5-year warranty
? Made in the USA with a para-aramid ballistic core and rugged 500 Denier CORDURA® outer shell
? Soft armor construction that is TSA approved for travel
? Designed to maintain the bags’ Micro Rapid Access Tab, loop-lined CCW compartments, and practical, low-print carry
? Model-Specific Fit (Custom-Cut Panels)
? Gamut 18L Sling - Panel 9.5″ × 15″, ~1.2 lb
? Gamut 22L Sling - Panel 11″ × 18″, ~2.0 lb
? Gamut 22L Pack - Panel 10″ × 15″, ~1.5 lb
? Gamut 26L Pack - Panel 10.5″ × 17.5″, ~1.6 lb
? Gamut 32L Pack - Panel 10.5″ × 18″, ~1.6 lb
The inserts are soft and flexible, built to drop into place inside each Gamut model without forcing a generic “one size fits many” panel into a dedicated CCW compartment.
“The Gamut line checks a lot of boxes for our customers: more capacity options, clean exteriors, and smart CCW layouts,” said Alex Stewart, President of Premier Body Armor. “Our job is to match that with reliable armor that fits correctly, rides flat, and is made here in the U.S. If you pick up a Gamut bag, you can add the exact insert built for it, or grab the armored bundle and be ready out of the box.”
Bundle Your Carry, Simplify Your Setup
Each bundle combines the selected Gamut sling or pack with its custom fit Level IIIA insert sized specifically for that bag. This approach keeps the packs looking like everyday backpacks or slings while adding concealed handgun-rated protection for concealed carriers, frequent travelers, executive protection details, and prepared civilians.
