UK based PPSS Group reports record sales for its SlashPRO slash resistant clothing brand. The supplier makes the point that knives have recently become the weapon of choice for many so-called “lone-wolf” attackers due to the low planning required to conduct a knife attack whether against an individual or group.
The garments are aimed at homeland security, police, prison, border control, immigration and customs units, as well as private security.
The clothing – pictured, a v-neck sweatshirt – is made from Cut-Tex PRO, a cut resistant fabric made in Great Britain. According to the manufacturer the fabric is comfortable to wear, skin friendly and Latex free.
PPSS CEO Robert Kaiser said: “Slashing dangers are now relatively frequent for these workers and it is has become a realistic and daily occupational risk. The cutting of an artery or blood vessel can cause rapid blood loss, shock and even fatality, and it is our mission to protect professionals at risk, with a range of easy-to-wear, slash resistant clothing. There are men and women out there who have made a professional choice in their lives to protect other human beings, facilities, venues, events and infrastructure from the bad guys.
“We at PPSS Group genuinely believe those men and women have the moral and legal right to be equipped appropriately, and slash resistant clothing is appropriate and ultimately can save valuable lives.”
SlashPRO products can purchased through the company’s online shop: www.slash-pro.com.
