Rezvani Created a $495 Bulletproof Backpack Featuring a Concealed Secret | Carscoops

      If you can avoid your attackers for some time, this backpack can be transformed into a bullet-resistant vest within seconds.

      Rezvani has recently introduced a new tactical backpack that can change into a bulletproof vest.

      The backpack is priced at $495 before tax and shipping, and its design is more understated than that of its vehicles.

      At times, personal security can take on a significant level of importance—quite literally. Rezvani, primarily known for its armored vehicles, asserts that the inspiration for the Bullet-Resistant Backpack came from a customer who had a disturbing experience, leading to this innovative product.

      They report that the product emerged from a customer who, after being assaulted, realized that one armored vehicle was insufficient. Thus, they requested Rezvani to devise a solution that would allow their everyday bag to serve as an unyielding shield. Who wouldn’t want that?

      Now, let's discuss the pricing details. The backpack retails for $495 before shipping, which typically adds around $9.95 to most locations in the U.S., excluding taxes. International shipping incurs an additional $45 fee, making the total cost approximately $600 after taxes, depending on your location. In the realm of bulletproof items, this price is relatively reasonable. Furthermore, the design is quite stylish.

      Unlike Rezvani’s vehicle designs, the backpack is fairly discreet. There are no obvious indicators of its capability to resist gunfire. The back showcases the Rezvani logo, a Velcro patch, and an unusual grommet for a cord, reminiscent of the days when the iPhone still had a headphone jack. It includes molle straps and a compartment for a water bottle on one side. However, the standout feature is located at the top.

      Innovative Design

      You can unzip the top of the backpack to reveal two straps secured with Velcro to the shoulder straps; these unveil a bullet-resistant plate that can be pulled forward and over your head. Additional straps allow you to secure the plate, while a second plate located at the back of the pack offers extra protection. In its standard configuration, it provides NIJ Level 3A protection.

      According to Premier Body Armor, this level is one of the most favored as it strikes a balance between protection and comfort. Rezvani mentions that customers can interchange the plates within the pack for varying levels of protection if desired. While this feature may not be unusual for bulletproof vests, the unique aspect of the Rezvani product is its ability to transition from a backpack to a bullet-resistant vest in such a short amount of time.
