Fortis Stab Vest (Stab only, no ballistic properties)
The Fortis Stab Vest has been certified by the Home Office as compliant with their stab and spike test standard KR1 + SP1. It will protect against stab, spike and also hypodermic needle threats.

KR1 means Knife Resistance Level 1. SP1 means Spike Resistance Level 1. (There is no Home Office standard for needle, but our vest gives protection from needles nevertheless).
