Abstract

A backpack includes a compartment exhibiting a compartment opening, a flap that can be moved between a closed position to close the compartment opening and first and second open positions in which it leaves the compartment opening open after swinging over from the closed position towards the back and front of the compartment, respectively. A ballistic protection shield can be moved, passing through the compartment opening and over the head of a backpack wearer, from a storage position in the inside of the compartment to a deployed position to protect the torso of the backpack wearer. Shield straps link the shield to the compartment capable of suspending the shield in the deployed position. The backpack defines a passage between the edge of the compartment opening and the flap in the closed position and includes a pull-type handle fixed to the shield and projecting to the outside of the compartment.
