The Trauma Pad Option:

The trauma pad option is recommended for additional comfort and helps mitigate energy transfer to your body in the event your armor takes a round. We use a special non-Newtonian pad which absorbs energy and reduces the back-face deformation to a lesser degree. It is not required, and does not add ballistic protection, but will absorb energy on impact, reducing felt blunt force trauma. If you choose to add a trauma pad, we will hand sew the trauma pad properly in place within The Firebird Armored Backpack, no work installation is required.
