Durable Protection for Demanding Security Roles
The Level 5 Stab-Proof Tactical Jacket provides certified cut and stab resistance for professionals who need dependable protection on duty. Designed for police officers, door staff, and security personnel, it combines reinforced Level 5 fibre protection with a smart, tactical look suitable for both uniform and covert use.
Crafted from high-density protective fabric, the jacket resists cuts, slashes, and knife punctures, while its band-style collar and zip fastening make it easy to wear and adjust. The long-sleeve design offers extended protection for the arms, ensuring coverage against accidental cuts and direct threats alike.
Unlike bulky armour, this jacket remains flexible, lightweight, and breathable, allowing you to move freely during long shifts or physical activity. Whether used for security patrols, enforcement duties, or urban safety, this jacket blends professional function with everyday comfort.
