How Stab vests resist penetration

How sharp objects penetrate ordinary materials.

A round penetrator like an awl, ice pick, or nail has an extremely small tip. It does not have to break fibers - it simply pushes them apart and slips through to penetrate your body.

A knife poses a totally different problem. Once its tip penetrates, the cutting edge slices through loosely woven ballistic fibers, reducing drag, to penetrate your body.

How Stab vests resist penetration

For fabric to defeat a penetrator, it must resist a very small tip being delivered with great force at high speed. Until recently, this was impossible.

The FDIG Stab vest is made from a newly patented fabric, which offers the highest puncture resistance ever achieved in a fabric. Woven with a KEVLAR® brand fiber that is four times smaller than normal ballistic fibers - the smallest KEVLAR® brand fiber yet available- yet it is five times stronger and lighter than steel.

Stab vests - the strongest, lightest, known stab-resistant vests in the world. Many penetrators actually bend when they strike it, and you have further protection against knives. In addition, Stab vests protect you against blunt trauma, bludgeons, fists and kicks.

No other vest protects you from stabs and slashes like the the FDIG Stab vests
