While New Zealand does not have its own national stab resistance certification, our vests are certified to internationally recognised standards including CAST KR1/SP1 (Knife and Spike Protection), NIJ Standard 0115.00 Certification (Threat Level 1 Spike and Edged Blades) and VPAM W5 (German Standard for Blunt Force Protection).
