We strive to provide you with outstanding levels of protection at the lowest weight possible. Our panels are manufactured using cutting-edge technology that combines unmatched strength with feather-light textiles to provide you with the protection you can comfortably wear all day.

MAXIMUM CONCEALABILITY

Unrivalled undercover protection

The functionality of body armour shouldn't be compromised for the sake of concealability, thankfully you can have both with our covert body armour range.

BALLISTIC-RATED ARAMID FIBRES

Tenacious protective synthetic fibre

Our hard-wearing soft armour panels are made from military-grade aramid fibres to protect you in threatening environments.

Coolmax ballistic level 3a vest

Very HAPPY with vest as security gaurd does what it says and very comfortable as was threatened with knife so I bought a vest

Cant believe how lightweight this vest it

I bought this vest as I was after something I could wear under clothing that didn't slow me down or feel heavy. The material is so smooth against my skin and this is perfect for what I was after. I wear this vest for long periods of the day so wanted to ensure I had a vest that didn't make this difficult.

Flexible and Lightweight

Went for this vest when looking at a large volume of different vests from different companies. Couldn't be happier. Took me a while to make the call and go with Safeguard but it's been perfect. My movement isn't restricted and the lightweight nature of the vest is ideal.

Husband really happy

I bought this vest for my husband and he is so happy. Safeguard made it simple and straight forward for me to choose him a vest that makes it easy for him at work. He was so happy when he put the vest on and wears it all the time!

Great material. Very lightweight

Got this vest about a year ago now and its been great. I have been buying vests for one reason or another for years and the have been from different companies. But I think I've finally found a vest I can trust will be perfect for me every time I wear it.
