I. Product Overview
This NIJ Standard-0115.00 Level 3 Stab & Slash Resistant T-Shirt is designed for professionals and individuals who need concealable, all-day protection against knife and spike threats — without looking like they're wearing armor.
At just 0.95kg (2.1 lbs) , it's 80% lighter than traditional metal vests. Unlike bulky stab vests, this protective long-sleeve top fits like a regular crewneck shirt, allowing for 24/7 wearable protection under a jacket, uniform, or alone.
II. Top 5 Key Features
1. NIJ Standard-0115.00 Level 3 Protection (Highest Rating) – Independently tested to resist 43J (E1) / 65J (E2) impact energy from spikes, daggers, and slashes (up to 50N of force). Meets the most stringent US standard for stab-resistant body armor.
2. Ultra-Lightweight at 0.95kg – Weighs the same as a casual hoodie and 1/5 the weight of metal stab vests. You'll forget you're wearing it.
3. Ultra-Thin & Concealable – 70% thinner than metal vests. The outer nylon fabric looks like a normal long-sleeve shirt. Wear it under a dress shirt, uniform, or alone — no one will know.
4. Large Protection Area (0.7-1.2㎡) – Covers chest, back, shoulders, and arms. Made with high-strength fiber woven on German Dornier looms for superior cut and puncture resistance.
5. Breathable & Antibacterial – The inner bamboo fiber layer is skin-friendly, moisture-wicking, and naturally antibacterial. Stay cool and comfortable during extended wear.

VIII. Size Guide & Care
Sizing: Available from S to XXXXL. Please refer to our size chart and measure over your base layer. This shirt fits like a regular crewneck — if between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort and concealability.
Care: Wipe the outer shell clean with a damp cloth. Remove inner layer for air-drying. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can compromise the protective fibers.
IX. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this really a T-shirt? How is it stab-resistant?
Yes. This is a long-sleeve crewneck top made with high-strength protective fibers woven on German Dornier looms. It looks and feels like a regular shirt but provides NIJ Level 3 stab and slash protection.
Q2: Does this meet US body armor standards?
Yes. It is designed and tested to meet NIJ Standard-0115.00 Level 3 — the highest rating for stab and spike resistance in the US.
Q3: Can I wear this every day under normal clothes?
Absolutely. At only 0.95kg and as thin as a sweater, it's designed for concealed, all-day wear. Wear it under a dress shirt, uniform, or jacket.
Q4: Can it stop a bullet?
No. This is stab and slash resistant armor, not ballistic armor. It protects against knives, daggers, ice picks, and slashes. For ballistic (bullet) protection, please see our other products.
Q5: How do I choose the right size?
Measure your chest circumference. For a concealed fit under clothing, order your regular shirt size. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up.
Q6: Is it legal to own?
Laws regarding body armor vary by state and jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to check local laws before purchasing. Some states restrict online sales or require in-person pickup.
