Rezvani, best known for its slate of armored vehicles, has entered the next stage of the personal protection market with a tactical backpack that doubles as a bulletproof vest. Priced at $495 before tax and shipping, the Bullet-Resistant Backpack was reportedly inspired by a customer who, after surviving an attack, wanted a layer of security beyond the armored car. Rezvani answered the call, blending function with discretion.
The Rezvani Backpack Completes The Lifestyle
At first glance, the backpack looks unassuming. It sports the Rezvani logo, a Velcro patch, molle straps, and even a grommet for a headphone cord—an oddly nostalgic touch. There’s also a side pocket for a water bottle. But the real surprise is what’s hidden inside. A quick unzip at the top releases two straps, unveiling a front-facing bullet-resistant plate that folds down over the chest, while a second plate in the back offers protection from behind. Once secured, it effectively transforms into a wearable bulletproof vest.
If you feel the need arises that you need to take your personal security up to speed, Rezvani makes the Retro RR1 and The Beast, which are built on a Porsche 911 and Ariel Atom, respectively.
The standard configuration provides NIJ Level 3A protection, which, according to Premier Body Armor, is a preferred balance of protection and wearability. But for those wanting even more security, Rezvani offers the option to swap out plates for higher-level ballistic resistance if you know the ops are coming with more heat.
For a company that usually deals in military-grade SUVs and tactical vehicles, this backpack is an interesting evolution—though at its core, it stays true to Rezvani’s ethos: protection, but make it cool.
Rezvani Is Bulletproof Luxury
Resvani isn’t exactly a carmaker. While Rezvani can armor out your car, you can also pick from a number of production offerings. The most notable of all these kitted vehicles is the Rezvani Vengeance: a Cadillac Escalade positively crusted over in hard angles, matte-black paint, and armor. If you go with the upmarket “Military Edition,” Rezvani includes a heavy list of tactical gear:
Military Edition Equipment
- Bulletproof glass and body armor
- Underside explosive protection
- Smoke Screen
- Military Runflat Tires
- Thermal Night Vision System
- Reinforced suspension
- Electromagnetic Pulse Protection
- Ram Bumpers

- Electrified Door Handles
- Siren and Horn Options
- Strobe Lights
- Blinding Lights
- Intercom System
- Magnetic Dead Bolts
- Gas masks
- First Aid kit
- Hypothermia kit
Other Rezvani Models
Rezvani offers a surprising range of models built on the chassis of some very different cars. Aside from the Vengeance, Rezvani makes the Tank, Arsenal, and the Hercules 6×6 just from the truck side of things. If you feel the need arises that you need to take your personal security up to speed, Rezvani makes the Retro RR1 and The Beast, which are built on a Porsche 911 and Ariel Atom, respectively.
