What makes a jacket stab-resistant? Find out how Stab-Safe works
At a time when safety is becoming increasingly important, more and more people are looking for ways to protect themselves - without being noticed. A stab-proof jacket is then a smart choice. But what actually makes a jacket stab-resistant? And what about our jacket from Stab-Safe?
In this article, we explain it to you easily.
What exactly is a stab-proof jacket?
A stab-proof jacket is a jacket designed to protect your body from attacks with sharp objects, such as knives. Unlike bullet-proof clothing, the aim is not to stop bullets, but to prevent a knife from entering the body.
This is done by using abrasion-resistant, fibre-reinforced materials that absorb and disperse the force and point pressure of a knife.
What's inside the Stab-Safe jacket?
Our jacket contains an internal layer of kevlar fibres, one of the best-known and most reliable materials in personal protection. Kevlar is also used in bulletproof vests, but in our jacket it is specially applied in a lighter, flexible form - suitable for everyday use.
The outside of the jacket looks like a normal softshell, but the inside contains invisible protection.

How effective is stab-proof clothing?
While no piece of clothing can give a complete guarantee against all types of attacks, a stab-proof jacket offers significantly more protection than an ordinary jacket.
The jacket is meant to gain time and distance - allowing you to flee, call for help or better defend yourself.
Note that a stab-proof jacket is not bulletproof. It specifically protects against stabbing with sharp objects, such as knives or awls.
