Frequently Asked Questions

What is GRKG™?

GRKG is a small, parent-driven company building bullet-resistant backpacks to help protect what matters most. We're not a corporation — we’re just parents who were tired of waiting for someone else to do something.

Are your backpacks bulletproof?

Technically, they’re bullet-resistant — rated NIJ IIIA, which means they can stop most handgun rounds including 9mm, .40, .45, and .357 Magnum. It’s the highest protection available in soft armor.

Can I remove the panel?

Yes. The ballistic panel is fully removable. You can replace it, upgrade it later, or take it out entirely if you want to use the bag as a regular backpack.

Why do you use hemp?

Because hemp is one of the strongest, most sustainable natural fibers on earth. It’s durable, water-resistant, and looks amazing — all while being better for the planet and your child.

Will my kid know what’s inside?

That’s up to you. Our bags are designed to look and feel like normal backpacks. There's no logo saying “bulletproof.” We want your child to feel safe — not scared.

Is this legal?

Yes. You can legally own and carry soft body armor like this in all 50 U.S. states, as long as you're not a convicted felon.

How much does it weigh?

The backpack weighs about 3–4 pounds with the armor insert — light enough for school, strong enough to matter.

Is it waterproof?

The bags are water-resistant. That means they’ll protect from rain and splashes, but they’re not designed to be submerged.

Do you ship fast?

We’re not offering shipping just yet — but it’s coming. You’ll see real-time updates right here when we launch.
