Yes, we do sell directly to individuals as well as to government agencies and private companies. You don’t need to be part of an official organisation to purchase from us. We frequently supply stab resistant body armour sometimes called ‘stab proof vests’ to concerned individuals, frontline professionals, and private security staff around the world. If you’re interested in placing an order, please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.
“Stab proof vest” is a commonly searched term, but it’s not technically accurate. No vest can guarantee 100% protection in all scenarios. The correct term is stab resistant vest, meaning the garment has been independently tested and certified to protect against specific levels of force from edged weapons.
Yes, all PPSS stab resistant vests are officially certified to KR1/SP1 under the UK’s CAST standard and tested for blunt force protection (VPAM W5). They also meet NIJ Standard 0115.00 Level 1 for both spike and edged blade threats. We hold full documentation to verify these certifications and strongly recommend requesting similar proof from any other supplier.
Many body armour providers claim their ‘stab proof vests’ are ‘tested’ against knives and spikes, but testing is not the same as receiving a certification through proper channels.
PPSS stab resistant vests are made from a high-performance carbon fibre composite, offering excellent protection from knives, spikes, needles, and blunt force trauma.
Our stab vests weigh between 1.5kg for a size Large. Depending on size and design, this will slightly alter. They are extremely lightweight and are utilised for extended wear while still offering outstanding protection.
We understand many people search for stab proof vests, but it’s important to know that no vest can guarantee 100% protection in every situation. The correct term is stab resistant vest. Ours are certified to UK Home Office CAST standards (KR1/SP1) and offer reliable protection against knives, spikes, and blunt force trauma.
Yes. All our vests come with a 10-year life expectancy guarantee, which exceeds the industry standard. Regular care and proper storage will help maintain performance over time.
Yes. PPSS Group ships worldwide, and our body armour is trusted by frontline professionals in over 40 countries, including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Morocco, Italy, across Europe and more!
Absolutely. We regularly supply security firms, government agencies, healthcare facilities, and other frontline services. Contact us directly for a quote and lead times on bulk stab vest orders.
In most countries, stab resistant body armour is legal to own and wear. However, some regions may have restrictions based on criminal history or public carry.
Always check your local laws. And remember “stab proof vest” is a widely used term, but the correct and legal term is stab resistant.
Because no body armour is 100% stab proof. While “stab proof vest” is a common phrase, it can be misleading. Our vests are stab resistant and certified to protect against realistic threats, but there are always physical limits depending on weapon, angle, and force.
