My staff say their stab vests are too heavy – how should I respond?
The key thing your staff are telling you when they say “these anti stab vests are too heavy” is that they are uncomfortable. There are a number of factors affecting comfort – a major factor is weight, however equally important is the flexibility of the armour – if it is rigid or hardened it is much less likely to be comfortable. Flexible stab vests are also easier to manoeuvre in – therefore the wearer may find it easier to move away from threats.
Furthermore, it’s crucial to purchase a stab vest which can be adjusted at multiple points, and that your staff know how to use them. Good suppliers will offer some training for your staff free of charge to show them the basics of how to adjust and care for their anti stab vests.
Hi Vis Vest - Dual Purpose Stab & Ballistic Protection
This high visibility ballistic vest looks just like a normal Hi Vis vest and includes lumbar (back) support, epaulettes, and concealed lower pockets. There are belt loops to ensure comfortable weight distribution and to prevent the hi viz armour riding up. You can wear this Hi Vis ballistic vest more formally with a shirt and tie for a smart authoritative look, or dress it down by wearing it over a t-shirt or polo shirt for a more low key 'workwear' look. This high visibility ballistic vest also has multiple adjustment points, offering superb comfort levels.
All our ballistic vests are certified by the home office and carry the CE mark. For more information about choosing your body armour please see our How to choose your body armour page and also request a copy of our body armour brochure which has further information.
