The PCB is <i>not<\/i> just another \u201cbulletproof backpack\u201d or armored backpack with soft armor panels stowed inside. It is a rapidly deployable, fully modular plate carrier concealed within a sturdy, well-designed, but <i>innocuous<\/i> backpack. In short, it&#8217;s legitimately &#8220;lowpro&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to housing a front and back hard-armor plate carrier, the BCB is perfectly capable of concealing SBRs, PDWs, AR15 pistols and the like <i>and allowing their deployment on demand<\/i>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t an SBR bag used to stow a weapon for transit.

Readying a long gun requires less than another couple of seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes it a superb option for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devcoregear.com\/blogs\/news\/lowpro\">lowpro<\/a> and low visibility work in semi- or non-permissive environments. It would also serve well in those situations where it\u2019s better to remain low key and prepared vs. \u201cjocked up\u201d and ready. Such operations might include surveillance, hiding \u201cin plain sight\u201d in a crowd during high profile events, pre-positioned support elements of PSD personnel, and similar mission sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pack would also obviously be an excellent way to keep active shooter response kit on standby or as the primary holdall for bail-out bags, bug-out bags, and get-home kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DEVCORE will not ship ballistic armor OCONUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current inserts include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u2022<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devcoregear.com\/collections\/guardian-pack-configuration\/products\/medical-kit\">IFAK<\/a> module (medical kit insert)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u2022<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devcoregear.com\/collections\/guardian-pack-configuration\/products\/utility-case\">Admin Pouch<\/a> (utility insert)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u2022<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devcoregear.com\/collections\/guardian-pack-configuration\/products\/guardian-gun-holster\">Chest holster<\/a> (PCB plate carrier holster module)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u2022<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devcoregear.com\/products\/covert-rifle-case\">Covert rifle case<\/a> (long gun weapon module)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><u><b>FEATURES<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Rapid deployment armor system is interchangeable for armored protection with either soft IIIA armor or hard armor plates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Front and back armor is concealed within hidden backpack compartment until it&#8217;s deployed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Bottom concealed compartment has a quick release pull handle for rapid deployment of various inserts such as the DEVCORE Medic Kit, DEVCORE Utility Kit and other custom inserts coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Full zipper front main compartment with interior Velcro panel to secure various pouches and accessories for storage and transport<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Front zippered slash pocket to stow personal items such wallet, phone and other smaller items<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Padded exterior back panel for comfort fit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Padded low profile adjustable shoulder straps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Slim comfort adjustable waist belt with exterior lined Velcro to secure deployed front armor carrier to front torso<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Adjustable quick-release chest strap to stabilize backpack when in use<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Hidden document compartment accessed behind waist belt connections on back exterior panel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><u><b>PRODUCTS SPECS<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Backpack built from 1000D Ballistic Nylon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf YKK zippers throughout<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Large Velcro panels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Breathable mesh padding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Main Backpack Dimensions: 20 in.
