Covert Stab Vests

Covert Stab Vests are worn under the clothing (as opposed to overt stab vests, which are worn over the clothing). Pictured is our stock Covert Stab Vest, as well as some variations which can be specially manufactured. Our Covert Stab Vests are as lightweight as it is possible to be whilst still meeting the Home Office standards. It is certified by the Home Office to KR1 & SP1 knife & spike resistance standards, and also provides syringe and blunt trauma (body blow) protection. Other protection levels can be specially made - please call for details or request our brochure.

The most common problems reported by covert stab vest wearers has been the discomfort caused by excessive heat, leading to perspiration. Our stock vests incorporate highly advanced internal fabrics that reduce the effects of overheating. Also pictured is our Cool Dry Vest, which can be worn under our Covert Stab Vests to manage temperature/perspiration. This Cool Dry Vest thermo-regulates the body and makes our covert stab vests even more comfortable to wear. It can be laundered at 95 degrees °C and keeps wearers of our Covert Stab Vests comfortable all day. For further reduction of heat, our factory can manufacture vests incorporating the highly advanced "Siophase" system, which works inside the vest to regulate body temperature by removing heat in excess of 37°C from the body. This excess heat is stored inside the vest fabric and then released when the core body temperature falls below 37°C.

In addition to the pictured stock Covert Stab Vest, our factory produces a wide range of covert stab vest styles from extreme covert to modular systems for the Police, Emergency Services, Security and Military markets. This includes designs that are also compatible with overt stab vest carriers, allowing transfer of protective panels, the option of anti-fungal stab vest materials, a large variety of covert stab vests colours and designs, glide and anti-ride up stab vest materials, optional internal body belts, comprehensive shoulder and side adjustment systems using elastication and Velcro, hard armour and additional trauma plate stab vest pockets, covert wiring systems for radio, and covert stab vest designs for male and female. Please call our Body Armour Department for further details, or request our brochure.

We also supply low-key overt stab vests which look like bodywarmers, and other more civilian-styles.
