The level of protection against stab threats is subject to the type of weapon, force of impact, and point of impact.

Safety Usage Protocol

To ensure maximum effectiveness and longevity of your ARAMID STAB VEST, please adhere to the following safety usage protocols:

1. Correct Sizing and Fit: Always ensure the vest is correctly sized and adjusted using the side Velcro. A snug, but not overly tight, fit is crucial for optimal protection and comfort. The protective panels should cover vital organs adequately.
2. Proper Donning: Ensure the vest is worn correctly with all buckles and fasteners secured. The protective panels must be positioned over the chest and back areas intended for protection.
3. Regular Inspection: Before each shift, visually inspect the vest for any signs of damage, wear, or degradation (e.g., tears in the outer carrier, visible damage to the internal panels, frayed straps). Do not use a damaged vest.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions carefully. Typically, the outer carrier can be washed, but the internal aramid panels MUST NOT be washed or immersed in water, as this can compromise their protective properties. Store the vest in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.
5. Understanding Limitations: Always remember that this is a STAB VEST, designed for protection against sharp-edged or pointed weapons. It is NOT designed to protect against firearms or extreme blunt force trauma.
6. Storage of Inserts: If the aramid panels are removable, ensure they are reinserted correctly and securely according to the manufacturer’s guidelines after cleaning the outer carrier.
7. Training: Utilize this vest in conjunction with professional security training, particularly in conflict resolution, de-escalation, and appropriate use-of-force techniques. The vest is a layer of defense, not a substitute for proper tactical judgment.
8. Chemical Exposure: Avoid exposing the vest, especially the aramid panels, to strong chemicals, acids, or petroleum products, as these can degrade the protective material.
9. Disposal: If the vest has sustained a significant impact from a stab attempt, or if the panels show signs of degradation, it should be immediately retired from service and replaced.
