Not quite DIY but does anyone know of a better price than £300 for a
covert level IIA stab proof vest.


The ones issued to London Ambulance staff are tailor made & cost
around £350 each.


I doubt they are tailor made as opposed to just being made in a number
of sizes. One thing that always amazes me is that they seem to offer
no protection to the lower abdomen and that an upward strike would
likely slide in underneath the vest.


My daughter was measured for hers and had to wait a fortnight for it to be
made.
