The Stab-proof covert vest Herkules Classic is developed for extended operations. It enables discreet wear with a close-fitting design, high freedom of movement and excellent wearing comfort – even during continuous professional use.

The outer carrier is made of 100% polyester and features a breathable spacer fabric construction that supports effective air circulation and high wearing comfort. The protection panel consists of a high-performance polymer permanently bonded to high-strength aramid fabric. This construction provides reliable stab protection with high flexibility and low weight. The protection elements remain flexible, dimensionally stable and moisture-resistant. Due to its overlapping structure, the protection material is breathable and supports a comfortable body climate.

The Herkules Classic features a particularly slim construction and can be worn almost invisibly under a shirt or uniform. It is available up to size 6XL/7XL, offering a fit range that is exceptional in the market.

Depending on size, the Herkules Classic weighs between 1.3 kg and 2.3 kg. The protection coverage of front and back ranges from approximately 0.25 m² to 0.49 m². With optional side protection, the coverage can be extended to approximately 0.59 m², providing comprehensive protection of the chest, abdomen, flanks and back.

The protection panels are removable, allowing the outer carrier to be machine washed for hygienic maintenance.

Modular system

The Stab-proof covert vest Herkules (new model May 2026) is designed as part of a modular carrier system. The protection panels can be installed in different carrier platforms, including the Herkules covert vest for discreet wear, the Orion high-visibility stab-proof vest for maximum visibility and the Thor tactical vest as a robust tactical option with additional equipment storage.

With just one set of protection panels, users can flexibly switch between different wearing configurations. This enables optimal adaptation to various operational scenarios while reducing procurement costs and increasing operational flexibility.
