Advanced stab protection with maximum comfort
Our stab-proof vests are specifically designed for demanding operational environments. In addition to high protection performance, the focus is on everyday usability—offering optimal comfort and unrestricted freedom of movement.
Our innovative scale structure adapts flexibly to the body’s movements, ensuring consistent, close-fitting protection—even in dynamic situations and during extended wear.
Unlike conventional protection vests made from rigid materials, our systems offer significantly greater flexibility while remaining lightweight and highly breathable. At the same time, they provide effective stab protection and reliable resistance against knives—including fine, pointed blades.
Another key advantage is the extended coverage area: while many conventional stab-proof vests only protect parts of the upper body, our systems provide comprehensive front and back protection, with optional side coverage.
Our stab-proof vests have proven themselves in daily use by security services, authorities and organizations with elevated protection requirements.
- High wearing comfort, even during extended operations
- Flexible protection structure instead of rigid systems
- Extended coverage area with low weight

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Stab-Proof Vests
What is the difference between the Classic, Professional and Elite series?
The series differ in protection level, material technology and intended use.
The Classic series is particularly lightweight and flexible, the Professional series offers certified protection with increased resistance and the Elite series combines maximum protection with optimized breathability.
The higher the risk and intensity of use, the higher the recommended protection level.
How safe is the vest and what does it protect against?
Our stab proof vests provide reliable protection against stab and cut injuries, including attacks with sharp knives or needles.
The Professional and Elite series also offer additional protection against blunt force such as punches or kicks.
Are the vests certified?
Yes. The Professional and Elite series are certified according to VPAM standards.
Some products are already CE-certified, with more currently undergoing certification. We are also preparing for international certifications such as NIJ.
Are the vests bulletproof and is bulletproof always better?
No. Stab protection and ballistic protection are based on different physical principles.
Many bulletproof vests do not provide sufficient protection against knife attacks. We are currently working on combining stab protection with ballistic protection and initial prototypes are already available.
Are the vests comfortable, discreet and suitable for concealed wear?
Yes. Our stab proof vests are lightweight, flexible and breathable, adapt to the body and can be worn discreetly under clothing.
They remain comfortable even during extended use and are well suited for everyday and professional applications.
What makes Armadillo Tex different from traditional Kevlar or metal vests?
Traditional knife protection vests are often heavy, rigid and not very breathable.
Our technology combines effective protection with high flexibility and comfort, making our vests significantly more suitable for everyday use.
Are there funding opportunities for stab protection vests?
Yes. For certain applications, our stab proof vests may be eligible for funding of up to 40% through the German VBG.
We are happy to assist with eligibility checks and the application process.

Professional feedback
![]() | We have already purchased several stab-proof vests from Armadillo Tex GmbH for our employees and are absolutely impressed. The quality of the vests is truly impressive, and the service is exceptional – almost unmatched. Especially compared to other providers we encountered at the Security Expo in Essen 2024, this provider excels in every aspect. Everything is just right here: top quality and a service like no other. We will definitely continue to purchase vests from here in the future. Highly recommended!!! |

![]() | For years, I have felt safe during working with the stab- proof vest from Armadillo Tex and love the comfort it provides. But with the new version, the manufacturer has taken it to a whole new level. The new panels are truly impressive – they withstand even the most aggressive knife attacks. It's a personal protective equipment product that I can highly recommend to anyone in security services or anyone working in high-risk areas. |

![]() | Fast delivery and the received goods were exactly as advertised. The stabbing test was, of course, carried out and passed by the vests! The price-performance ratio, usability and comfortable fit make this product the first choice! |

![]() | For us, the protection and safety of our employees are the top priorities. That's why we only rely on quality when equipping our staff with protective clothing, not on cheap products. Our employees have been using the stab-proof vests from Armadillo-Tex for a while now and can highly recommend them. In addition to providing a high level of safety and comfort, the vests are also very light-weight and can be discreetly worn as covert vests. Furthermore, our requests for individual adjustments were quickly and fully implemented. Anyone who values the health and safety of their employees should take a closer look at these stab-proof vests and test them. |

![]() | The vest is the best I’ve ever had – flexible, comfortable, and light-weight. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I hope there will be many more products to come. The delivery was fast and the goods met the expected quality. I can only highly recommend these products and will do so, and I hope many of my colleagues will soon be wearing an Armadillo Tex vests as well. Thank you, Armadillo Tex, for such a great product – keep up the good work! |

![]() | Fantastic customer service and high-quality products. I wear the stab-proof products while on duty with DB Security and feel absolutely protected. |

| Dennis Kopp |
![]() | We often see that security personnel don’t wear their vests or are unable to wear them during close protection because the clothing reveals it. This is the first vest I’ve been able to wear under a shirt or suit jacket without it being immediately obvious. |

| Felix Schlaht |
![]() | The most important and noticeable aspect was the comfort. The vest is incredibly light, unlike the usual steel plates. It feels like you're not even wearing a protective vest. |
