ph5172 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Could the OP please check the inner pannels. If they are GREEN with GERMAN Markings they are subject to a Recall Trading Standards picked two and they were submitted to the Home Office Scientific Development Branch for testing, the results show them as unsuitable for the purpose of which they were sold, they do not meet the designation of Stab proof (7mm penetration limit, these achived 40mm)and should be returned to KOMBATUK for a refund If it is another vest then please disregard this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Before anyone buys this vest as a "stab vest", I think they should wait for darren m to answer the questions in the previous posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren m Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) thanks for your posative comments chaps heading needs changing to protective vest but cant do it from here . i had 2 delieverd by CBUK , this one as just sat in the wardrobe i wear one as pp while working on the doors , they certainly take the strain if someone takes a punch / kick / base ball bat to you and protects your ribs well. if i could afford £400 for a top qual vest i would of bought one , but this was better than nothing. Alas its not kite marked and do not advise anyone to go into battle wearing one or get them selves in a situation where they might be at risk . just like to add ,i did a home test i requested spare panel to test , i strapped it to a hay bale and shot it at 5 feet with a 12 gauge then proceded to stab at it with a lock knife and it held together well , they are really strong but alas not worth taking a risk with . hope that clears that up , may be of some use to some one . cheers Edited February 25, 2011 by darren m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
