Bullet Proof & Stab Proof Clothing - Vests & Jackets
Most
is manufactured from
Kevlar
, which is a synthetic fibre claimed to be 5 times stronger than steel, by weight.
Kevlar
has been available since 1968 and is manufactured by polymerization in a very similar way to the way a spider spins its web. Typically a
bullet-proof vest will be made up of between 10 and 30 layers of
Kevlar
which has formidable stopping power against bullets.
Bullet-proof vests , and
Bullet Proof jackets
, are graded in terms of “threat levels” and before deciding which
vest
is most suitable for your particular situation you will need to know what calibre of weapon you are likely to come up against. The lower the calibre weapon the lighter the
vest
will be that we are likely to recommend. In addition to the vest and
jacket
we can offer “trauma plates” which will increase the level of protection substantially.
Most of the
bullet and stab proof vests that we can offer come in sizes ranging from small to XXXXL.
At Spycatcher we have a proven track record in supplying the best equipment, very often to those people who are most likely to put themselves in harms way, such as
embedded reporters. Call us we’ll be happy to advise you.”
We also offer a full range of
stab
and
slash-proof vests
designed to be light and
comfortable to wear. These
vests
have stretchable Velcro fastenings at both the sides and the shoulders, together with removable outer covers to allow for machine washing. Unfortunately as knife crime has become such a major issue in the UK recently it is important to have a supplier who can offer a full range of
for immediate delivery. We keep all sizes in stock, ranging from small to XX large.
