More Than a Backpack
Protect What Matters. Carry What Counts.
Polar Protector looks like any other school backpack, yet inside it carries two integrated ballistic panels tested to NIJ Level IIIA standards. Lightweight, discreet, and built for everyday use, it blends seamlessly into school life while keeping advanced protection close at hand. Each panel is crafted from Spectra Shield® by Honeywell, an advanced UHMWPE fiber up to 15 times stronger than steel. Deployable in under two seconds, the system provides quiet, reliable coverage without drawing attention, giving families a trusted layer of safety that fits in comfortably while standing ready when it matters most.
About The BP Defence Polar Protector
Polar Protector reflects our belief that protection should feel purposeful–not performative. It’s not just about armor, but assurance: the quiet confidence parents feel when they know their child is prepared. That’s why every detail of this backpack is intentional–from the concealed ballistic panel and fast-deployment system to the neutral design that fits seamlessly into a school day.
Because what kids carry should support how they live, learn, and move through the world–without making safety feel separate from their everyday lives.
Fast Protection, Without the Fuss
Polar Protector is built for moments that demand speed, focus, and function. 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, Polar Protector brings certified protection into reach, exactly when it’s needed most.
