Wyatt Earp was most likely to be the first Law Enforcement Officer to be saved by Body Armour. (Shoot-out at the OK Corral. Shot by Billy Clanton and others from as close as 5 ft.).

ANTI-BALLISTIC FABRIC
Weave style is very important.


  • If woven too dense - too much damage to the yarn will decrease performance

  • If woven too loose - not enough filaments encounter the projectile

  • Plain weave gives more cross-over points - best performance

  • Tenacity of fibres and filament count has an influence on ballistic performance



Odours
Are the result of bacteria build-up. Wash yourself before wearing vest. Follow cleaning procedures. Commercial ‘odour neutralising’ products are available. If the vest becomes ‘odour’ impregnated due to insufficient care, contact the manufacturer to have the cover/carrier replaced.
