Frontline professionals need protection from knife attacks; this high-tech shirt provides that by protecting them against knife injuries. A stabproof shirt provides this protection while maintaining their security on the job.
Stabbing resistance can be challenging to measure. Zhang et al. performed experiments using needle-punched nonwoven fabrics combining Kevlar and UHMWPE yarns impregnated with STF and polymer coating and tested their stab resistance.
Cut-resistant protection
Stab-proof clothing is designed to complement body armor by offering protection in areas not covered by the vest. Stab-resistant apparel may be appropriate when the threat level does not warrant wearing body armor, such as when facing knife attacks that could occur unexpectedly or on occasions when one might occur. Stabproof apparel provides essential neck and chest area protection from slash attacks, which could potentially lacerate vital arteries, leading to rapid blood loss and death.
This stab-proof shirt has been knitted from Cut-Tex Pro fabric, which provides exceptional ISO 13997:1999 and EN 388:2016 blade cut resistance level E (previously level 5). As an ISO 9001 quality-controlled textile fabric, it will significantly decrease workplace violence-related cuts.
Research efforts are directed toward increasing the stab resistance of polymeric materials, as stab-resistant body armor must be flexible, lightweight, and long-term effective. To accomplish these goals, new polymers, shapes, or even 3D printing may be used to achieve this end.
Some researchers have used hydrogels to create flexible, stab-resistant materials. Nakahata and Tan used free-radical crosslinking between b-cyclodextrin-acrylamide and adamantane-2-isocyanate ethyl acrylate to make a supramolecular hydrogel which could be stretched around a pencil or cutter blades with ease while showing strong stab resistance properties as well as self-healing abilities.
Rigid composites and reinforced polymers may also provide protection, though their lack of flexibility makes them harder to manage than pure textiles. To increase the stab resistance of such materials, some researchers have made use of shear thickening fluids, which can be added directly into polymers or textiles in order to increase their stab resistance.
There have been various approaches taken towards designing stab-resistant materials. While some utilize shear thickening fluids in combination with other methods, and others explore different materials and structures, researchers have conducted tests comparing Vectran triaxial fabrics against Kevlar triaxial samples; others have examined combinations of textile fabrics that feature coatings or impregnations treatments, etc.
Fire-retardant protection
The outer layer of a stab-proof shirt is constructed from a combination of wool and synthetic fibers that feel comfortable when worn all day long, like any regular jacket fabric. Wool and Vectran fibers work together to offer more excellent protection than either would provide individually, in addition to being tear-resistant and water-repellent.
Clothing designed for people working in hazardous situations must also provide fire-retardant protection, an essential feature. With the recent increase in knife crimes, frontline police personnel and other personnel must have the maximum protection available – which means not only having bulletproof vests but also body armor that offers stab resistance.
Most stabproof vests are constructed with similar materials as bulletproof vests, such as aramid or Kevlar. But their functions vary considerably: while bulletproof vests aim to stop bullets from penetrating the body, stabproof vests may allow some penetration but then catch and entangle any blade that might puncture further into your system.
This black Combat Cut Bravo Shirt Full Protection with a detachable turtleneck is constructed of 3-way black aramid fabric for general stab resistance as well as excellent tear and cut resistance, featuring fire retardant K-aramid to increase stab resistance further. It also comes complete with a detachable turtleneck attachment for maximum convenience.
An everyday-style, stab-resistant shirt may help increase confidence in the workplace. Furthermore, this shirt can be combined with other protective apparel to further increase overall safety – and even used for sports activities like mountain biking and hunting!
Tear-resistant protection
The stab-proof shirt protects law enforcement against knife attacks. This protective workwear is flexible and breathable to make movement in dangerous situations easier for officers. Furthermore, its emergency opening enables initial first aid provision if required, and most importantly, this shirt does not heat up or burn upon contact with skin.
This anti-stabbing shirt provides far superior protection than its conventional bulletproof vest counterpart. Crafted from lightweight yet strong aramid material, the shirt’s protective fabric has many advantages over other materials and should provide unparalleled defense from stabbing threats.
Contrasting with bulletproof vests, which protect firearms and ballistics, stab-proof shirts are designed to reduce serious injury by blocking knives, needles, and spikes. Tested according to National Institute for Justice standards to ensure it can stop all three blade types, the standard setting a maximum penetration depth limit of 7mm for knives while being penetrated by spikes or needles won’t reach this level of injury.
The stabbing has become one of the primary weapons used in terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, making police officers and other frontline workers especially vulnerable in violent encounters. Therefore, VBR-Belgium offers an ideal stab-resistant t-shirt made with Coolmax fabric, which provides direct contact with the skin for moisture regulation and an immediate dampening effect.
This stab-proof shirt also comes equipped with a detachable, stab-resistant high collar made of Cutyarn padding to increase its stab-proof qualities further. This feature is especially crucial as neck injuries frequently result from stabbing incidents; additionally, the collar can quickly be taken off during winter patrol or night watch operations should it become too warm.
The stabproof shirt comes in various models for women as well. Its protective structure consists of tightly-woven aramid fibers to form an impenetrable barrier; furthermore, this layer is fire retardant while remaining breathable and lightweight for ease of wear over plain clothing. Ideal for law enforcement professionals as well as civilians.
Stabbing protection
With more stab attacks occurring each year than gun-related incidents, people are looking for effective ways to defend themselves. One such method is wearing a stab-proof vest or shirt, which is constructed from lightweight material for comfortable wearing under or over clothing and features special lining to prevent punctures. They are specifically designed to stop knives from penetrating their bodies, as well as withstand different amounts of pressure without puncturing.
Kevlar is a synthetic fiber with a high tensile strength that is often weaved into clothing to form stab-resistant vests, providing high levels of protection from potential attackers. These vests can be tested in professional labs where a machine drops a knife blade against it; this test measures how many joules (unit of force) it can withstand before breaking through; anything able to withstand 24 or more is considered exceptional quality.
For police officers and other frontline professionals, the ideal stab vests must meet the highest industry standards. Tested against NIJ Threat Level 1 and CAST Knife Resistance Standard KR1, these products come in both covert and overt designs to suit different situations – some even feature the thinnest materials on the market to increase concealability – making them suitable for civilian use and plainclothes services alike.
Stabbing protection should be part of most working uniforms, particularly for those employed in security or police roles or other industries where penetrating risks are higher. Contrary to popular media depictions, knife attacks pose far higher chances of fatality than mass shootings; police should additionally use armor plates that protect them against handguns.
The Combat Cut Bravo Shirt, Full Protection with a detachable turtleneck, is an ideal solution for officers in need of both stab and bulletproof protection. Constructed of black aramid vest material, this black aramid vest provides fire retardancy and tear resistance as well as two layers of cut-resistant Cutyarn fabric on arms and neck for cut protection as well as a stabilizing turtleneck which itself features resistance Cutyarn material to provide even more excellent stab-proofing protection.
