The HighCom Bellfire Shield Bag is a purpose-built carrying and storage bag for ballistic shields, constructed from 1000D nylon and available in three sizes to fit shields ranging from 18"x24" up to 24"x51". A drawstring opening provides fast access in the field, while reinforced carrying handles make transport straightforward whether the shield is staged in a vehicle or moving through a facility. The bag ships in black and carries a 2-year warranty on the exterior cover and workmanship. Made in the USA.

Who this is for

• Law enforcement and security teams: need a reliable way to store and stage a ballistic shield between deployments without exposing the shield surface to environmental wear.
• Tactical units with multiple shield sizes: can select the small, medium, or large bag to match their specific Bellfire shield dimensions, keeping kit organized across a fleet of shields.
• Facilities and agencies with fixed shield storage: benefit from the bag's durable nylon construction and secure drawstring closure for long-term storage in an armory or vehicle.

Compatibility with parent armor

The Bellfire Shield Bag is sized to fit HighCom Bellfire ballistic shields across three shield footprint ranges. The small bag fits shields up to 18"x24". The medium bag accommodates shields sized 18"x34", 20"x34", and 24"x36". The large bag handles the 24"x48" and 24"x51" shield formats. If your shield falls on a size boundary, contact us to confirm the right bag size before ordering.

Function

The bag serves two roles: active transport and long-term storage. The drawstring opening allows a shield to be inserted or removed quickly without unzipping a main compartment, which reduces handling time during deployment prep. The sturdy carrying handles distribute load evenly for single-officer carry. When the shield is not in active rotation, the bag protects the ballistic panel surface and any attached hardware from dust, moisture, and incidental contact damage that can degrade optics mounts, viewport edges, and coating over time.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What does this bag work with?

The Bellfire Shield Bag is designed to carry and store HighCom Bellfire ballistic shields. Three sizes cover shield footprints from 18"x24" up to 24"x51". It is not rated for ballistic protection and does not add any ballistic performance to the shield inside it.

How do I choose the right bag size?

Match your shield's dimensions to the fit column in the size chart: small for 18"x24" shields, medium for 18"x34" through 24"x36" shields, and large for 24"x48" and 24"x51" shields. If your shield dimensions fall outside these ranges or you are unsure, contact us before ordering.

Is this bag NIJ-rated on its own?

No. The Bellfire Shield Bag is a non-ballistic carrying and storage accessory. It carries no NIJ threat rating. Ballistic protection is provided solely by the shield stored inside it.

Does the bag add meaningful weight to the setup?

The bag itself weighs between 1.1 lbs (small) and 1.8 lbs (large). It is intended for transport and storage, not for wearing during a deployment. The shield is typically removed from the bag before use.

What is the warranty coverage?

The bag carries a 2-year warranty on the exterior cover and workmanship. This covers the 1000D nylon shell and construction quality. Contact us for warranty service questions.
