Cut-resistant / slash-resistant garments to be worn discreetly<br />

This cut-resistant / slash-resistant T-shirt is a very<br />

innovative product and has been developed after<br />

intensive study into combining comfort as well as<br />

offering the most efficient protection against different<br />

types of cutting injuries.<br />

Additional stab resistant protection: we determined<br />

that it was absolutely necessary for credibility to have<br />

medical input from highly skilled<br />

surgeons to define a body mapping of stab resistant<br />

zones on the T-shirt in order to provide the correct<br />

protection. Different zones of the vital organs need to<br />

be protected against cutting, slashing as well against<br />

stabbing in order to minimize injuries that otherwise may<br />

result in immediate death if targeted in these zones.<br />
