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

When I retired about 3½ years ago I gave away a stab-proof vest
(unused but tried-on once or twice). Hardly covert, it had a white
washable liner. I think it had titanium plates as its active elements.
It was bloody heavy to wear though.
I think my successors were issued with slightly more
ballistic-resistant PPE...
