Is the Bulletproof Puma Meridian Backpack heavy for kids?
The weight of the backpack largely depends on the bulletproof level chosen. The NIJ IIIA level, for example, weighs approximately 1-2 pounds – similar to a plastic water bottle or a 70-page notebook, ensuring it isn't too heavy for children.
