Whether you live in Cell Block 9, UK, or simply work on a high-risk job where sharp objects pose a hazard, this lightweight, water- and puncture-resistant jacket is designed to keep you warm, dry and alive.

If you’ve ever wondered to yourself, “Sure, my current rain jacket is waterproof, but is it nearly puncture-proof?” then Armor-Tex has the garment for you. This incredibly tough textile garment promises to protect you not only from a downpour, but also from any unwanted stabs you might encounter on a casual stroll through a questionable area.

Of course, Armor-Tex isn’t just for the UK, where the daily forecast consists of a 90% chance of rain and a 0.01% chance of stabbing. Its modular design is also perfect for high-risk occupations where there is frequent exposure to sharp objects, such as your local prison yard or a Black Friday sale at Walmart.

Sure, some might think wearing a stab-proof jacket is overkill, but those are the same people who ask to charge their phone with your generator when the power in the neighborhood is out. Whether you’re navigating the increasingly dangerous world of urban commuting or just a carpenter with a fearsome nail gun sight, the Armor-Tex Weatherproof Jacket with a Stab-Proof Vest has you covered—literally.

But in all seriousness, knife-related crime has increased over the past decade in almost every country. Statistics from World Population Review show 9,783 people died from stabbing in 2021 in South Africa and 1.33% of all recorded deaths there were from stab wounds. Brazil and India are not far behind in these numbers. That same year, the United States ranked in the top 10 places to die from knives with 1,774 stabbing deaths or 0.05% of all deaths. These figures do not include the number of stabbing victims who survived.

The Armor-Tex jacket is a three-layer breathable and waterproof fabric. The vest is easily pulled into the jacket, making the vest itself versatile for all situations. When paired with the vest, the anti-stick system weighs just under 1.8 kg.

The vest is made from a flexible carbon fiber armadillo-inspired armor 3.9mm thick, engineered to meet KR1 (knife) and SP1 (spike) protection standards with 0mm penetration – that is unless you get stabbed by a very powerful or highly trained special ops type baddie , you will likely suffer little or no damage to your chest, back, and vitals other than some bruising.

As the saying goes: “I’d rather sweat than bleed.”
