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 III-A and Stab II 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 - 0.3 in.
Weight of Ballistic Panel - 5.5 lbs.
Weight of Vest Ready to Wear - 6.2 lbs.
Areal Density of Ballistic Fiber - 1.0 lbs. Per sq. ft.
