Anti-stab vest

I'm not sure the rules on posting questions here since I don't usually post on this site but I wanted to know if anyone knew where you could get a cheap 'anti-stab' vest?
Helpful answers will be much appreciated!
Thanks Beano7!

    They're not light and comfortable to say the least... maybe staying out of trouble is cheaper.
    Victoria's suggestion seems like a good one if you cant help yourself... or check on second-hand websites

    I saw a report on the news a few months back about how some local shops in london have started to stock stab proof vests. You could try there.

    Hi we bought a kevlar anti-stab vest from ebay last year it was £30, the size was american "large" so it differes from the uk size, so read the small print if u buy one from ebay.

  • You need to be careful with American vest - one company got into a lot of trouble as the component parts were not as good as they should have been.

    I also seem to recall that second hand vests from Police Forces whilst cheap are not that good a buy - how do you know that it has not been used/tested.

    Have u done the whole "stab yourself lightly with a knife" to see if it works yet :rotfl: ..... we had lots of fun with our vest, seeing how "strong" it was.
