You can sit down wearing our vest, but try sitting down with the non flexible options offered by other manufacturers! Some of our competitors vest are made for U.K. conditions where our Australian climate has not been taken into consideration. Our material is lightweight, flexible and has a patented design that allows air to enter and heat to escape from the material easier. This is a patented design not offered by any other stab protection company in the world!

We value our customers feedback on the non flexible options offered by other manufacturers which speaks for itself by way of many national customers changing to our stab vest products. Ours offer flexibility, and breath-ability, which is what you want when you are wearing a vest for a full shift!

NOTE: We do not recommend level 3 for vest if you intend wearing for more than 2 hours, or need full flexibility. Level 3 is good for cell extractions, mental health facility response teams, short term assignments. For general security related work level 1 or 2 is suffice to stop knives, scissors, needle stick, glass, spikes, shivs, slashing, up to 24 joules and 40 joules of force, however we are happy to supply to you with level 3 protection if requested.

DESCRIPTION 

The DEFENDER-3 Stab Protection Vest is a widely-used choice among our consumers in the Security and Public Safety sectors.

The outer fabric of the vest is very durable. This makes it particularly suited for law enforcement and also ideal for outdoor use.

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 tactical stab-proof vest weigh only approx. 1.6 kg, (level 1) for example. The protective layer is made of a high-strength aramid fabric to which a special plastic is inseparably applied. The combination of high strength fibres and the energy absorbing plastic create a material of which its specific properties even exceed those of stainless steel plates. 

The weight is approx. 4.5 times lower than that of a comparably thick stainless steel plate. We have taken the armadillo as a model to ensure flexibility and breath-ability. 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.

As with our other vests, the vest is characterised by a very high wearing comfort. We achieve this by the low weight of approx. 2.1 kg and this with a protected area of over 0.25to 0.45 m². In comparison, other vests only offer a covered area of 0.1 – 0.2 m². Furthermore, the wearing comfort is significantly increased by the high flexibility of the stab-proof material. This means that the vest can be worn permanently without any restrictions – regardless of whether you are seated or highly active.

Our stab protection clothing is not ballistic rated and is stab protection only. We do not sell bullet proof vest.
