The user of our stab proof products must observe the following important notice, and will be responsible for any loss due to not following these instructions when using our products.
1. ArmorLite flexible stab-resistant safety protection products meet the GJ2019, VPAM and NIJ standards, it protects against stabbing, slashing, and cutting without causing fatal injuries. Our prodcts can effectively resist attacks from conventional knives, such as fruit knives, utility knives, scissors, kitchen knives, axes, and common military spikes. However, there is no 'shield' that is absolute and claims to safeguard against any kind of attack, thus, we do NOT claim definite and absolute stab resistance under any circumstance. The relative energy levels must be taken into consideration when speaking about resistance levels, the higher the energy level, the higher the level of protection required. Product protection levels under incorrect applications or scenarios, and when subjected to energy levels higher than 24 joules, may lead to partial or complete failure of the effectiveness of our product.
2. The safety protection functionality of the ArmorLite stab proof clothing comes from the anti sharpe object thrust inner core layer integrated within the clothing/jacket, not from the outer layer or the inner lining textile fabrics. The flexible stab-resistant inner core layer is removable; the outer and inner fabric consists only of conventional textile materials (polyfiber, nylon fiber, cotton, etc.) and such fabric alone is NOT stab proof.
3. The full range of ArmorLite flexible stab-proof safety protection products, is intended only for self-defense, personal protection, and hobby related use, it is NOT intended for military or other activities prohibited by the law enforcement bodies. It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to use our products for illegal or criminal activities.
4. The ArmorLite flexible stab-resistant clothing comes with a test sample of stab-resistant material. It is recommended to attach the test sample of stab-resistant material to a stable wall and perform horizontal tests with handheld blades (utility knives, kitchen knives, scissors, etc.), prior to putting the product to actual use. Only after the user tests and personally evaluates the protection level be matching their specific application scenario, should the product be used. The product is for personal use only and must not be lent to others without clearly informing them of the protective energy level.
5. Our product resists everyday potential knife attacks, horizontal or lateral stabs. Therefore, when testing the stab-resistant material, horizontal testing is recommended. Do not place the flexible stab-resistant material test sample flat on a table and strike vertically downwards at 90 degrees; because our material is NOT designed to withstand strikes under such scenario. This scenario in real life would translate into for example, where the victim is lying on the ground and the attacker stabs downward, this is NOT within our protection scope. Knives are DANGEROUS items, do proceed with caution when performing such tests.
6. The protective area varies greatly according to body shape; choosing the right size based on height and weight is crucial for effective protection.
7. The stab-resistant inner core layer is divided into "STRIKE SIDE" and "BODYSIDE". Special attention must be paid to the removal and subsequent re-installation of the stab-resistant inner core layer. Incorrect installation will lead to a loss of protective effectiveness.
8. The ArmorLite flexible stab-resistant wear's front and side protection functionality, depends on the overlapping of the left and right, the front and back stab-resistant inner core layers. Incorrect overlapping methods may lead to ZERO protection effectiveness. Please make sure that you are wearing the clothes correctly and that the protective core material is correctly overlapping and covering your body.
9. For the additional protection of the arms, neck, etc., from our flexible stab-resistant clothing, please check availability with us or our authorized dealers, before making purchases or putting our products against strikes under these circumstances. Only after confirmation can it be used in the intended scenarios.
10. The ArmorLite flexible stab-proof wear is NOT bulletproof and is strictly prohibited from being used in any bulletproof testing or scenarios.
