With knife and gun crime on the rise in the UK, is Kevlar-lined clothing the future for safe living? One company certainly seems to think so. Bladerunner is an Essex-based company that makes protective clothing for police forces and security guards, and now also offers ’stab-proof’ Kevlar-lined hoodies so that gang youths can look cool and stay safe.
After a colleague’s policeman friend came across 14 and 15 year olds wearing stab-proof vests for protection on the streets, the company’s director Adrian Davis has apparently also approached schools in East London about the possibility of putting Kevlar linings into school uniforms. A scary thought, but if there’s no prevention at least there can be some protection.

are they actually stab proof or are they just slash proof?

I´m sorry, my English is not the best one,
but nevertheless I would be pleased to get
an answer.
Can you give me a list of stab proofing
clothes please and do you know, whether these clothes are also fitted for protection of snake bites.
I thank you for your answer
