• Discreet style: Smart zip-up sweater look, fits civilian, corporate or security-wear settings.

• Built-in protection: Technician-grade slash and cut resistance ratings, fewer unknowns when you’re wearing it.

• Comfort meets function: All-day wear-ability, layering potential, built for long shifts or late-night movement.

• Confidence in cover: You might not be in open uniform, but you’re not without protection either.
  
  

FAQ

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

A: No... this sweater is designed for slash and cut resistance. It is rated under EN 388 for blade-cut, tear and puncture, but it is not certified as stab-proof or ballistic-proof. For stab or ballistic protection use certified body-armour.

Q: What do the EN 388 ratings mean?

A: The sweater has been tested: Blade-cut (Method 6.2) Level 4, Tear (Method 6.3) Level 4, Puncture (Method 6.4) Level 3, Abrasion (Method 6.1) Level 1. Higher levels mean greater resistance in each category.

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

A: Absolutely... the Spectra is designed to look like a smart zip-up sweater but gives protection under the surface. Ideal for late-night travel, plain-clothes work shifts, or professionals wanting extra cover without tactical appearance.

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

A: With proper care (see above), the protective lining remains effective. If the lining is visibly compromised (cut through, abraded, torn) you should replace the garment. This is protective clothing, not invulnerable armour.

Q: Who should avoid this sweater?

A: This is not suitable where certified ballistic or full stab protection is required. If your role demands those levels of protection, select a purpose-built vest or armour-system instead.
