FAQ

Q: Is this sweater bullet-proof or stab resistant?

A: No. This sweater is designed specifically for slash and blade resistance. It is tested under EN 388 for blade-cut, tear and puncture resistance, but it is not certified as stab-proof or ballistic-proof. For protection against stabbing or firearms, a certified body armour solution is required.

Q: What do the EN 388 ratings mean?

A: EN 388 is the European standard for protective clothing against mechanical risks. This sweater has been tested to the following levels:

• Blade-Cut Resistance (Method 6.2): Level 4
• Tear Resistance (Method 6.3): Level 4
• Puncture Resistance (Method 6.4): Level 3
• Abrasion Resistance (Method 6.1): Level 1

Higher levels indicate greater resistance within each test category.

Q: Can I wear this smart sweater off-duty in civilian settings?

A: Absolutely. The Spectra is designed to look like a smart, everyday zip-up sweater while delivering covert protection. It’s ideal for late-night travel, plain-clothes duties, commuting, or professionals who want added security without a tactical appearance.

Q: How long will the protection last and what about damage?

A: With correct care and normal use, the protective lining will remain effective. Avoid cutting, heavy abrasion, or misuse. If the lining becomes visibly compromised (cut, torn, or heavily worn), the garment should be replaced. This is protective clothing, not indestructible armour.

Q: Who should avoid this sweater?

A: This product is not suitable for environments that require certified stab-proof or ballistic protection. If your role or deployment demands those protection levels, a purpose-built armour system or covert vest should be used instead.
