Is this stab proof vest certified?

Yes. All ArmorLite stab proof vests are independently tested and certified to meet KR1/SP1 stab resistance standards in accordance with the Home Office CAST guidelines. Our products also meet EN388:2016 standards for blade cut resistance.

What protection standards does ArmorLite body armour meet?

ArmorLite vests meet KR1/SP1 standards at levels up to 24 joules of force for stab protection, tested in accordance with UK Home Office CAST specifications. Our FlexGuard material also meets EN388:2016 Level 5 blade cut resistance, the highest rating available.

Is body armour legal in the UK?

Yes, stab proof body armour is legal to buy and wear in the UK for civilians. There are no restrictions on purchasing or owning stab proof vests. However, body armour is classified as an offensive weapon only if worn while committing a crime. We always recommend understanding your local regulations.

Can I wear a stab proof vest under my clothing?

Yes. ArmorLite offers covert body armour specifically designed to be worn discreetly under clothing. Products like the FlexGuard Undershirt and Covert Vest are slim-profile designs that remain undetectable under a shirt or jacket while providing full KR1/SP1 certified protection.

How heavy is a stab proof vest?

ArmorLite stab proof vests are engineered to be lightweight. Our FlexGuard vests weigh approximately 1.5-2.5 kg depending on the size and coverage level, while our SoftGuard vests weigh approximately 2.0-3.0 kg. Both are designed for all-day wear comfort.

These charges are levied by your local customs authority and are entirely the customer's responsibility. They are not included in the product price or shipping charge at checkout.

For UK customers: orders dispatched from outside the UK may be subject to UK import VAT and customs duty. These charges are payable by the recipient at the point of entry.

Damaged or Lost Orders

We take responsibility for ensuring your order arrives in good condition. If your order arrives damaged, please contact us at customer@armorliteshop.com within 72 hours of delivery with:

Your order number
Photographs of the damaged item and packaging
A brief description of the damage

We will arrange a replacement or refund as appropriate and manage any carrier claim on your behalf.

If your tracking information shows your order as delivered but you have not received it, please take the following steps before contacting us:

Check with other members of your household and neighbours.
Check any secure delivery locations (porch, garage, with a neighbour).

If the package remains unaccounted for after these steps, contact us at customer@armorliteshop.com with your order number and we will investigate with the carrier.

Note: ArmorLite cannot accept liability for packages confirmed as delivered to the correct address where theft or removal is suspected after delivery. We strongly recommend providing a secure delivery address.
