   I am skeptical. There are tougher and more comfortable fabrics than kevlar. As an example, I would think Cordura would be much better in a slash resistant jacket.

   Neat idea but that video was bizarrely edited. Besides in "Stabbings" i think the emphasis is on the pointy end being thrust into you rather than being slashed. Then again I've never been attacked with a knife.

   Oh! And I thought the "Bladerunner" was misleading...I so wanted a cool futuristic coat with lights!

   Is slash-resistant the same as stab-resistant? I assume most mortal wounds are of the stabbing kind, not the slashing ones.

   The "threats of life"? Pessimistic bunch, aren't they?

   Ali, you're exactly right. I should have warned that the hoodie was lame-looking.

   why don't they just put that cloth on the outside?

   is there any purpose for the outside cloth, at all?

   That's not a knife.

   THAT's a knife.

   What if they slash/stab you in the face?

    I could see it being useful against a stanley knife or a broken bottle. These garments aren't designed to prevent you getting stabbed, you would need to spend a few hundred quid on a proper stab vest, which are heavy and often unbreathable due to the syringe/needle point barrier membrane regularly incorporated.
