High-Performance Cut & Slash Resistant Arm Sleeves – ANSI A4 Cut Level Protection with Stainless Steel Core
These arm sleeves are engineered to provide ANSI/ISEA 105 A4 level cut protection, tested to withstand 1,500–2,199 grams of cutting force. Constructed with 62% stainless steel wire woven into a flexible, breathable fabric, they offer a robust barrier against blades, glass, and sharp edges without sacrificing mobility.
While designed for cut and slash resistance, they serve as an ideal complement to NIJ-certified stab-resistant vests, providing comprehensive protection for the forearms—a common target during edged-weapon encounters.

VI.FAQ
Q: What cut resistance level do these sleeves meet?
A: They are tested to meet ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A4 (US standard) and EN 388 Level 4 (international standard) for blade cut resistance. This provides proven protection against slashing threats in tactical, law enforcement, and industrial applications.
Q: Are these sleeves stab-proof like an NIJ vest?
A: No. These sleeves are designed for cut and slash resistance. For full stab protection, we recommend pairing them with our NIJ 0115.00 Level 3 Stab Resistant Vest. Together, they provide comprehensive protection for torso and arms.
Q: Can I wear these under a uniform?
A: Yes. The sleeves are lightweight, breathable, and form-fitting, allowing discreet wear under long-sleeved uniforms, tactical shirts, or casual clothing.
Q: How do I clean them?
A: Machine wash on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry. Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or high heat, which can compromise the stainless steel fibers.
Q: How long does shipping take?
A: US: 3–7 business days | Canada: 5–10 | UK: 3–7 | EU: 5–10 | Middle East: 5–12
