Hidden Protection

keeping it unnoticed

Hidden inside pockets are our proprietary carbon-fibre composite material panels, which are flexible and wrap around the torso without pronouncing their existence to the attacker.

3mm Thickness NIJ Level 1 Protection

Composite Protection

knife-proof meets flexibility

The patented design combines flexibility of aramid fabric and high-strength carbon-fibre scales. Bend, twist, and sit comfortably all day without the "stiff-board" feeling of traditional vests.

NIJ Level 1 24 Joules Impact Energy

Staggered Layering Zero-Gap

Protection From Every Angle.

We stack two precise layers of our composite material offset from one another. The solid carbon-fiber bottom layer sits perfectly beneath the fabric gaps of the top layer, ensuring 100% continuous coverage against ultra-fine spikes and needles.

Front and Back Protection FlexGuard

Trauma Barriers

Catch the blade tip

Instantly shutting down the weapon's momentum, preventing lethal secondary trauma from a knife sliding across the torso or upward toward the neck.

360° Articulation Zero Drag

Kinetic Arrest Matrix

15x stronger thansteel

At the microscopic level of our SoftGuard Series, our High-Modulus Performance Polyethylene chains are aligned to
create a fiber 15x stronger than steel. This creates a "catch-and-blunt" effect against serrated edges and spikes.

"Great gift for my son."

"My son drives rideshare in the city on weekends, and you never know who is sitting right behind. The FlexGuard vest gives me so much peace of mind knowing that it provides decent protection front and back. The best part is its comfort elements which allow the driver to seat for hours and still feeling fresh."

"Peace of mind for working solo."

"As a female real estate agent, I often find myself travelling between different spots in the city, sometimes through dodgy backstreets. I wear the SoftGuard vest under my blazer. It’s remarkably thin and light. Literally no one knows I have it on, but the confidence and control it gives me is absolutely priceless."

TACTICAL BRIEFING (FAQ)

Our ArmorLite wear uses advanced materials and innovative design to provide stab-resistant protection while remaining flexible and comfortable. Please read our complete guide on "How Stab-proof Body Armour Keeps You Safe" to learn more.
Our designs aim to strike a balance between protection and mobility. Coverage is focused on the most vulnerable areas while allowing for flexibility and comfort.
Wearing ArmorLite stab-proof vests and jackets is just as easy as wearing your conventional apparel. Simply put on the vest or jacket as you would any other piece of clothing. However, it’s important to pay attention to the correct positioning of the armor. Ensure that the impact side of the body armor—the side designed to absorb and deflect attacks—is facing outward. This ensures that the armor will provide effective protection. Additionally, when removing and reattaching the armor panels for washing and cleaning, make sure to reattach them properly to maintain the integrity of the protection. Kindly refer to the instructions and videos on this page.
At ArmorLite, we prioritize your safety by ensuring our stab-proof body armor complies with the most stringent safety standards in the world. Our products meet NIJ Level 1standards for protection against knives, syringes, and other sharp objects. Additionally, our armor passes CAST SR1 and KR1 tests, which assess resistance to stabbing and cutting attacks, and adheres to the rigorous VPAM standards for both stabbing and blunt force protection. ArmorLite is also certified by the China National Accreditation Service (CNAS) and follows ISO standards to guarantee the highest levels of quality and safety. These industry-leading certifications ensure our armor delivers top-tier protection you can trust.
Stab-proof body armor is specialized protective wear designed to prevent or reduce injury from stabbing or puncture wounds. ArmorLite has spent years since 2006 developing cutting-edge stab-proof material, combining high-performance carbon fiber and strong aramid fibers using patented fabrication technologies. This innovative combination of materials is specifically designed to absorb and disperse impact energies, and will withstand a wide range of sharp and blunt object attacks, including knives, syringes, and even bricks. The result is a lightweight, flexible body armor that provides unmatched protection without compromising comfort.
