PROTECTIVE LINERS
The powerful protective fabrics used by ProWearGear are among the very best in the industry.
Alone, CLASSIC-3 provides the highest spike protection level rated by the United States – National Institute of Justice (NIJ) – at NIJ Spike Level 3 Standard 0115.00. It is also available in CLASSIC-2 for NIJ Spike Level 2 and CLASSIC-1 for NIJ Spike Level 1, for lighter protection which are more cost-effective. The ProWearGear Soft Body Armor system is expandable, modular and scaleable -additional protective layers can be added to the core , initial system at a later date, to increase protection levels. Call us to find out more about these options.
The ULTRA – GUARD, a ProWearGear patented technology, was designed for extreme edge blade and spike threats. The key benefit of this fabric is its ability to give greater kick back to a knife’s impact with the energy being recoiled back to the knife, to reduce internal bruising and trauma. The fabric is light, flexible and marginally heavier than CLASSIC-3. When ULTRA-GUARD is combined with CLASSIC 3, the protection level can exceed the NIJ’s maximum for spike – NIJ Spike Level 3, Standard 0115.0. Other options include ULTRA GUARD combined with either CLASSIC-2 or CLASSIC-1 for a lighter, cost effective protection alternative.
5 Year Warranty:
- There is a five year warranty for protective fabrics used in the ProWearGear armored panels found in:
- T-Shirt – Crew
- Jackets
- Gaiters
- Coveralls
- a five year warranty is the industry standard for similar fabrics used in spike and ballistic vests
The “ENVELOPE”
The “Envelope” is a thin, waterproof membrane that envelopes – encases the powerful protective fabrics and protects these fabrics from degradation caused by UV light, body sweat and water. The envelope is like the thin membrane that covers protective panels found in ballistic and spike vests and cleaned with the same antimicrobial product used to clean ballistic and spike panels. The envelope and protective fabric panels it protects, must NOT be immersed in water, washed or dry-cleaned. The envelope should be protected from cuts and snags. However, if damaged, the envelope fabric should be replaced quickly to minimize degradation of protective fabric.
12 Month Warranty
Due to the fragile nature of the envelope fabric, it carries a 12 month warranty. It can be replaced for a modest fee.
