THE STAB PROTECTION VEST - WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO OFFER?

Police and safety personnel are confronted with a high risk for injuries - especially in unsafe areas and during big events. People with impaired consciousness and thrusting weapons: If there is a direct attack or if uncoordinated movements cause a dangerous situation - can lead to significant injuries. In the worst case they can be a danger to one's live.

A stab protection vest reduces these risks. The vests can prevent wounds completely or at least significantly reduce their degree of severity. In addition they have, depending on kind and version, several other advantages to offer.

STAB RESISTANT OR CERTIFIED - THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STAB PROTECTION VESTS

Stab protection vests are clearly divided in two categories. The first category includes the certified models. These models have passed an examination by the VPAM (Vereinigung der Prüfstellen für angriffshemmende Materialien und Konstruktionen - Association of the Inspecting Authorities for Attack Resistant Materials and Constructions) and are characterized by a respective class and KDIW certificate. The vests tested for knife blades carry the additional classification K1 to K4 - where K1 offers the lowest and K4 the highest degree of protection.

If the stab protection vests are stab resistant but not certified it does not automatically mean that they are less efficient. Yet an objective and independent verification usually is missing. Therefore, stab resistant vests are a less expensive acquirement.

ADDITONAL ADVANTAGES OF STAB PROTECTION VESTS

A stab protection vest cannot only fulfill its obvious task and prevent stab wounds or at least reduce the degree of the severity of the injury. Anti-shock models can additionally prevent injuries through hits and blows and therefore are a practical enrichment of the self-protection necessary for police and security personnel. Aside from these functions the stab protection vests in our shop even offer optical advantages. Models which are equipped accordingly can be labeled with 'SECURITY' and therefore warn off attackers from afar. The risk of attacks often can be reduced through this simply change.

Our shop also carries variations that fit comfortably under a blazer or sweatshirt and therefore are mostly inconspicuous. If the own presence is supposed to go unnoticed - yet you also do not want to deny yourself an efficient protection - these models are ideal.

No matter what your choice is, the stab protection vests of Nordhandel.de offer safety and adjustable protection to their wearer.
