Description

Title of the invention: Cut-resistant combat shirt

[0001] The present invention relates to a knife-resistant combat shirt.

[0002] The combat shirts usually used by our law enforcement agencies are essentially made of cotton and nylon fabric, which do not provide protection against cuts or knife attacks.

[0003] Some combat shirts have thicker reinforcements on the arms but without real cut protection; it is possible to add hard armor at the elbows, but this is neither practical nor discreet.

[0004] The device according to the invention addresses this problem. In a first characteristic, it comprises an internal lining of "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) or equivalent material covering the entire arms and collar. "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) is a fabric 15 times stronger than steel and also very thin, which does not hinder movement or mobility at all while remaining invisible on the outside of the combat shirt.

[0005] According to particular embodiments: The internal lining of "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) or equivalent is sewn under the outer part of the nylon combat shirt to make the stab protection invisible. The layer of "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) or equivalent can also be sewn between two layers to be invisible both internally and externally. The protection extends from the wrists to the top of the shoulder, protecting the arm 360 degrees. The collar is also lined with "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) or equivalent and may be raised up the neck to provide 360-degree protection. Color variations are available, and a stab-resistant lining can be added to the torso and back, but the process remains the same.

[0006] With reference to the photos, our anti-stab combat shirt features a lining of "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) or equivalent, from the wrist to the shoulder, covered by a Ripstop canvas lining on the outside. The collar is also made of the same materials with a "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) or equivalent lining. The torso and back are made of cotton.

[0007] Anti-stab combat shirts are available from XS to XXL in all possible colors according to requirements, with the same protective characteristics.

[0008] Depending on possible variations, the internal lining in "Dyneema®" (registered trademark) or equivalent may be added to a part of the torso and back as needed, while maintaining the same use.

[0009] Anti-knife combat shirts are intended for use by law enforcement, security and first responders.
