ARMOUR-KNITTM
ARMOUR-KNITTM represents an important addition to our range of specialised KEVLAR
protective clothing.
Developed originally for rapid intervention duties,
ARMOUR-KNITTM garments are
suitable for use in all
operations where there is a significant risk of injury from cuts and slashes from
broken glass, edged weapons
and other similar hazards.
Based on the latest fibre technology from DuPont,
ARMOUR-KNITTM clothing offers
a unique combination
of protection, flexibility and comfort, in a range of colours to suit the
operating environment. A comprehensive
range of garments is available in modular form, providing head to toe protection
if required. In addition to
offering protection against cuts and other mechanical risks all products are
inherently flame-retardant.
