It's not bulletproof, but TUMI's Southington Backpack does have a carbon fiber construction and ID Lock features strong enough to protect your tech and gear from the dangers of the daily commute.
The TUMI CFX collection is set off by its American-made carbon fiber CX6. The material undergoes a wet infusion process during manufacturing that TUMI says results in a superior textile that's high-strength, low-stretch, lightweight, and soft enough slung across your back that you won't feel like you're going to school or work dressed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
In addition to its carbon fiber shell and leather trim, the Southington bag is built with TUMI's ID Lock, a layer of protection for the personal data encoded on most of your IDs, credit cards, and passports.
Of course, given what the TUMI CFX Southington costs, if I were a thief I might rather swipe the whole backpack than try skimming off the information inside it.

Due to my hulking presence and penetrating stare, people usually know better than to try and steal...or touch...or come within 10 feet of my stuff. But I'll grant that theft, and pickpocketing in particular, is a worldwide...
Batman Backpack
I guess since the Dark Knight Rises motorcycle suit pretty much congeals itself to the body of whomever puts it on with nary a pocket to spare, UD Replicas figured they better come out with some sort of supplemental storage...
Carbon Fiber Daggers
The Escort series of carbon fiber daggers is not meant for cutting. It's meant for stabbing. That statement did not even stem from my powers of deduction, but directly from the manufacturer's literature. Aerospace grade...

Urban Tool Shoulder Holsters
They lie somewhere between backpacks, messenger bags, and places to store your gun. They're Urban Tool Shoulder Holsters. And they may be eye-rollingly hipster, but hey, at least they also provide a compact means of stashing...
Cocoon Go Go Gadget Pack
Geez, here's a backpack that has as many fancy names associated with it as it does fancy pockets for holding gadgets. Organization brand Cocoon (that's #1) has released its SLIM (#2) tech backpack with MacBook Pro (#3)...
Captain America Winter Soldier Jacket
While the Captain America Winter Soldier leather jacket doesn't exactly have the same presence as the Captain America motorcycle suit, in a way it's a much more practical investment because A) it's way cheaper, and B)...

If James Bond needed a backpack to tote his textbooks and laptop to physics class, I bet a Black Ember is what he'd choose. Modular, waterproof, and very, very black, these bags are customizable with an array of accessories...

Earth Traveler Ultralight Teardrop Trailers
I nominate bench pressing an Earth Traveler teardrop trailer for an event in the next CrossFit Games. Or maybe a World's Toughest Mudder obstacle of harnessing a 250-pound Earth T250LX to a runner's back and having him...
Dark Knight Leather Armor
So this Dark Knight isn't quite like the Dark Knight you and I are used to. Well, I mean I guess he would be if our Dark Knight lived in a 16th century video game and were as into the color red and the world of S&M as...

Hammock Bathtub
Usually when people describe themselves they inflate the truth or do that reverse psychology trick where they say a bunch of self-deprecating things in an effort to convey the opposite meaning. In both cases they would...
G-RO Carry-on: The One Bag
While the greedy, unchecked executives of the airline industry continue to make flying more difficult, expensive, and miserable for their own profits, private companies like Ostrich and G-RO are developing ways to make...
Dakine BC Utility Vest
I was recently at a bar for happy hour and it was jam packed with 1) Amazon employees and 2) Amazon employees' backpacks. I felt like I was at Adult Latch Key. They got let out of work but their mamas couldn't pick them...
