WETHERBY, United Kingdom, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

    Based on a comprehensive understanding of today's most realistic threats

faced by homeland and private security professionals, PPSS Group have today

announced an official replacement for their highly acclaimed polycarbonate-based

stab resistant body armour (https://www.ppss-group.com/stab-resistant-vests/ ).

    The firm's product video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtE2BrJrKLo),

featuring the CEO Robert Kaiser being beaten and stabbed wearing the body

armour is widely regarded as 'physical evidence' of its precise performance

level and quality.

    Kaiser said: "Following years of relentless R&D we have concluded that

Polycarbonate as a raw material is simply no longer good enough. Its lack of

certified spike protection resulted in it becoming 'morally' unjustifiable for

us. We learned to accept that improved protection from knives, machetes, razor

blades, shanks and indeed spikes was needed."

    "We concluded that carbon fibre composites are the only real reliable and

forward-thinking solution. Carbon fibre is enabling us to offer truly superior

levels of stab protection alongside substantial weight reduction, lower

thickness, and finally also fully certified spike protection. This at no extra cost"

    According to their CEO, certified spike protection is crucial, especially

to correctional and prison officers who face some of the cruellest makeshift

weapons, such as shanks and spikes daily.

    Spike protection has now also become of equal importance to private

security professionals, simply due to the type of weapons appearing on the

streets in recent years.

    Comparing it with the company's highly successful polycarbonate-based stab

resistant vests, the new body armour is even lighter, thinner, more effective

and more functional.
