FAQs
Is it legal to wear a stab vest in Australia?
Yes, stab vests are legal to purchase and wear in most parts of Australia. However, laws may vary by state, and certain restrictions could apply in public places or for individuals with specific criminal convictions. Always check your local regulations before purchasing.
Are stab vests the same as bulletproof vests?
No, stab vests and bulletproof vests are designed to protect against different threats. Stab vests are engineered to protect against knives, and spikes, with PPSS Group body armour we also provide blunt force protection. For ballistic protection, a bullet-resistant vest is required.
Do you supply directly to Australia?
Absolutely. We deliver across Australia and support all government procurement methods. For any more information on lead times and shipping please get in touch.
Can I buy a stab vest in Australia?
Absolutely. PPSS Group supplies stab resistant vests directly to Australia. Our vests are trusted by correctional officers, private security, and frontline professionals worldwide.
Do stab proof vests really work?
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.
Is a stab resistant vest the same as a stab proof vest?
The term stab proof vest is commonly used online, but it can be misleading. No vest is completely “proof” against all attacks. Our vests are correctly referred to as stab resistant, meaning they are designed to protect wearers from the risk of injury from knives, spikes, and blunt force.
