ASEO Europe launches KR1 stab vest

With its lightweight fabrics, the vest is said to be extremely comfortable for the wearer yet robust enough to take strikes from sharps such as knives or needles and blows from blunt instruments – anything from baseball bats to fire extinguishers.

The vest has various features, purposely incorporated to offer the highest level of protection without any restrictions being placed on movement. The vest’s ergonomic design is moulded around the body with no excess fabric. In effect, then, the vest becomes a ‘second skin’ for the wearer.

As well as being able to withstand high impact blunt trauma blows, the product is certified to withstand forceful stabs to KR1 level, giving the wearer the peace of mind that it has the stamp of approval from the Home Office’s Scientific Development Branch.

Stab, ballistic and dual vests

ASEO Europe provides various kinds of stab, ballistic and dual vests. An adaptation of the covert, the overt vest uses the same technology with a different face fabric, tailored to wearers that want their vest to be visible.

Used by security operatives and enforcement officers, these vests are mainly for those that have to wear protective clothing as part of their uniform.

Alongside vests, ASEO also produces protective gloves with design elements integrated to offer the utmost protection. The fabric used is strong and slash-proof, yet provides maximum comfort for the wearer.

The products ASEO supplies have been tried and tested extensively by professionals facing potential attacks.
