stab vest
Knife-resistant body armor
A stab vest is body armor designed to protect against knife attacks, worn by police officers, prison guards, and security personnel.
Unlike bulletproof vests, which stop high-velocity projectiles, stab vests use tightly woven fibers or chainmail-like materials to resist puncture and slashing: Officers in the UK routinely wear stab vests on patrol.
