More Than a Backpack
Looks like an everyday backpack.
Protects like it shouldn’t have to.
What looks like a standard backpack is built for much more. Dark Shield features two independently tested NIJ Level IIIA ballistic panels, front and back, hidden within a lightweight, structured design that blends seamlessly into everyday school life. Crafted from Spectra Shield® by Honeywell, up to 15 times stronger than steel, the system deploys in seconds to provide discreet, full-torso coverage.
About The BP Defence Dark Shield
To us, protection is not just about ballistic panels. It is about trust–between a parent and a growing child, a student and their independence, a product and its promise. That is why Dark Shield is designed for mobility, tested for reliability, and built to fit into everyday life without getting in the way.
Because what your child carries should reflect how they move through the world–and protecting what matters should never disrupt what feels normal.
Engineered for Silent Strength
Dark Shield is built for discreet, rapid deployment. Its integrated NIJ Level IIIA ballistic system includes two concealed panels, front and back, that deploy in under 2 seconds. Using a simple three-step motion of pull, position, and secure, the front panel locks into place with the Center-Flex™ system, which self-adjusts to stay centered across the chest while the rear panel provides continuous back protection. Crafted from Spectra Shield® by Honeywell, an advanced UHMWPE fiber up to 15 times stronger than steel, the panels are lightweight, durable, and engineered to disperse energy on impact. Designed for instinctive use and tested for reliability under stress, Dark Shield brings certified protection into reach, exactly when it’s needed most.
