Regular ballistic vests offer good SLASH knife protection, but are not "knife-proof". Stab-Resistant vests offer a much higher level of protection from STABBING attacks. Stab-Resistant technical information here. Stab-Resistance does add weight and stiffens up a vest significantly, so we don't recommend it unless you have a significant knife threat.

Features:

Offers Balistic Level II and Stab I Protection -

Unlike others, we don't use any plastic stiffeners to make a cheaper vest that looks a little lighter on paper, but feels stiff and bulky on your body.

Perimeter Stitching to Maximize Protection -

Besides extra coverage, our aramid vests are stitched around the perimeter, to better stop shots close to the edge of the vest. The NIJ standard testing does not cover shots closer than 3" (8 cm.) to the edge of the vest. Take 2" off all around the edge of a vest, and see how little coverage is left!

One of our perimeter stitched Level III-A ballistic panels stopped a 9mm sub-machine-gun round in combat in the Balkans, just 1" (3 cm). from the edge of the vest (one of three bullets stopped by that panel!).

Product Specifications:

Thickness of Ballistic Panel - 0.25 in.
Weight of Ballistic Panel - 4 lbs.
Weight of Vest Ready to Wear - 4.1 lbs.
Areal Density of Ballistic Fiber - 1.0 lbs. Per sq. ft.


Level II armor is more effective against handling the blunt trauma provided from higher velocity and +P type ammunitions while still providing concealability and comfort that can be worn in day-to-day situations. This armor will offer excellent protect against 9mm +P Full Metal Jacketed Lead Round Nose bullets (124 grain) at a velocity of 1240 fps, and can be effective up to .357 Magnum bullets (158 grain) at a velocity of 1,400 FPS. This armor is also effective against all threats mentioned in Level I, and Level II-A. Level II armor is the most well-rounded armor for situations where the threat of small arms fire may be expected, and is a great balance for combat use.
