Both Male and Female Covert
Discrete Styles as above | Covert Protective Vest
This vest style is available in two basic forms: Covert and Overt, in both male and female versions, both of which are made to measure and utilise the same protective insert.
This enables the officer to select either a covert vest or an overt vest, whichever is more appropriate for the operation being undertaken, by simply inserting the protective insert. The female vest has a formed front.
Protection Levels
You have been supplied with a dual-purpose knife and bullet resistant body armour that is certified to UK Home Office level of protection "handgun 1A" and "knife resistance 1"
HG1A + KR1
It will give protection against a vast majority of knife and firearm threats broadly speaking this includes all handgun weapons up to and including 9mm and .375 Magnum handguns. Please also refer to the instruction booklet supplied with your body armour.
The inserts that provide this protection are produced from materials that have to meet the highest possible standards. Not least of all they must be flexible i.e. flexing in all directions at once.
This ensures absolute comfort to the wearer, as was the intention of Police Scientific Development Branch working in consultation with police forces, in order to provide them with a high level of protection in a stab and bullet resistant body armour that could be worn for a full work shift of up to 12 hours.
Design of Covert Vest

This vest takes full advantage of newly available and specially selected materials best suited for covert use, which provide matching wearer comfort to that of the advanced protective inserts they are designed to contain.
These materials include:
Water repellent easy care Microfilament fabric for the outer shell, with a Coolmax inner vest surface backed with a pure cotton liner.This combination enables any perspiration to be lifted from the body and transported the the outside of the vest where it can evaporate.
The vest can be worn directly on the skin, or if preferred on top of a T-Shirt.
The design of the vest combined with the use of these materials and the fact that it is made to measure and fit closely to the body it was measured precludes the need for shoulder adjustment.
This brings the advantage of increased comfort, lower weight, more efficient perspiration management and no observable evidence of the wearing of a protective vest through the shirt or blouse.
The vest does adjust at the waist to allow for personal adjustment for snugness of fit and to tolerate change of body shape.
The protective panels are sealed in a waterproof TPU envelope and further encased into a coated polyamide cover ("bag-in-bag" double security system for protection against humidity, UV-light and mechanical stress). Armour panels provide full side protection.
Design of Overt Vest
Like the covert version of this vest this overt design uses materials and features designed to provide comfort combined with practicality of use for the wearer best suited to an overt vest, these include:
Double lock adjustable fastenings in shoulder area. Elastic side adjustments concealed under flap on rear of vest. Female version with an anatomically formed front panel Ergonomic cut for freedom of movement during typical police activities. 3D-shape to improve comfort. Two way front zip allowing the easing of the bottom front of the vestg while sitting or driving. Outer shell from water-repellent heavy duty CORDURA fabric. Body side materials from special COOLMAX fabric for improved perspiration management. Two large box pleat pockets for notebook and accessories. Removable epaulettes. Microphone loops. The protective panels are sealed in a waterproof TPU envelope and further encased into a polyamide cover ("bag-in-bag" double security system for protection against humidity, UV-light and mechanical stress). Armour panels provide full side protection. |
