IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
When purchasing a vest its important to assess your requirements. The higher the level of protection the heavier and more restrictive the vest is. For general security related activities Level 1 is generally suffice. Level 2 and 3 are more suited to corrections and Police/military use.
LEVEL 1 - Allowable penetration under testing standards is the greatest single stab penetration depth allowable of 7 to 20mm with a strike force of up to 25 Joules, which will not allow for penetration to vital organs
Level 2 - Allowable penetration under testing standards is the greatest single stab penetration depth allowable of 7 to 20mm with a strike force of up to 40 Joules, which will not allow for penetration to vital organs
Level 3 - Allowable penetration under testing standards is the greatest single stab penetration depth allowable of 7 to 20mm with a strike force of up to 65 Joules, which will not allow for penetration to vital organs

The technology used to make our stab protection vests and other stab-proof garments is innovative and unique throughout the world. After many years of intensive research, we have succeeded in manufacturing a textile composite that is safe, light and flexible at the same time. Our under vest weighs only approx. 1.3 kg, for example. The protective layer is made of a high-strength aramid fabric to which a special plastic is inseparably applied. The high strength fibres and the energy absorbing plastic mean that the specific properties of this composite even exceed those of stainless steel plates. The weight is approx. 4.5 times lower than for a comparably thick stainless steel plate. We have taken the armadillo as a model to ensure flexibility and breathability. Just like this armoured mammal, we make use of an overlapping scaly structure. However, our scaly structure differs from that of other suppliers in that it is not possible to push it apart. This allows us to achieve a high degree of safety in combination with maximum flexibility.
The breathable and lightweight outer fabric made of resistant polyamide fibres is capable of optimally absorbing sweat and moisture and dries quickly. The outer fabric can be washed in the washing machine to ensure flawless and hygienic cleaning.
Various uses
There are many different possible uses for our stab-resistant textiles. Whether private or government security forces, whether police, law enforcement or security – they all require effective self-protection equipment against knives, probes and other stabbing weapons. Our products can be used in many areas thanks to their many advantages.
Business people requiring protection and their bodyguards can wear our inconspicuous, breathable vests under a suit without the worry of sweating. Inspectors, guards and crowd controllers do not feel any heavy load on their shoulders even after hours of use thanks to the low weight of our stab protection vests. Rescue workers and paramedics can react flexibly to ongoing situations and threats with the movable composite scales, which offer premium protection.
Metal plates may very well repel piercing attacks. But they have the major disadvantage that they are heavy, inflexible and not breathable.
Kevlar material, which is often used in bulletproof vests, is only puncture-proof to a limited extent. This is where the bicycle spoke poses a very great threat. With a diameter of less than 2 mm, the spoke can easily pierce itself. Once the protective layer has been pierced, the spoke can penetrate further without being stopped. This is different from a knife, which has a cross-section that is at least 10 times higher and is therefore easier to stop.
That is why such vests are often also provided with a metal ring mesh. This can hold off knives well, but the bicycle spoke can easily penetrate the rings.
Our stab protection material consists of composite plates that are attached to an aramid fabric. Thanks to the patent-pending technology, neither knives, needles nor bicycle spokes can penetrate the material and yet it is light, flexible and breathable.
Ebay specials!
Why would you trust your life to a vest that have no testing data, and are not tested to NIJ standards! are heavier, hotter, and in most cases use metal inserts that from our experience rust when they get wet or moisture from sweat, which causes the plates to rust!. go ahead if you want to take that risk, is your life worth more than $50
