Ideal for security staff, law enforcement, door supervisors, military personnel, and anyone operating in high-risk situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a long sleeve over a short sleeve cut-resistant top?
A long sleeve top extends cut protection from the shoulder all the way to the wrist, covering the forearms - one of the most commonly targeted areas in a slashing attack. If you work in close-contact environments where arm exposure is a real risk, a long sleeve garment provides significantly more coverage than a short sleeve alternative.
What cut resistance level is offered?
Our Kevlar-lined long sleeve T-shirts are rated to EN388 Level 2 cut resistance. This is achieved through independent laboratory testing and confirms the lining can withstand sharp blade contact without being cut through. For the highest available protection (EN388 Level 4), our Spectra-lined garments are the recommended option.
What material is used in the lining?
Our long sleeve T-shirts use Kevlar (DuPont) - a high-strength fibre rated to EN388 Level 2 cut resistance. Kevlar is lightweight and flexible, allowing the garment to move naturally with the body while providing reliable cut resistance against knives and edged weapons.
Can I wear these as a standalone garment or do I need body armour as well?
Our long sleeve cut-resistant tops can be worn on their own or as a base layer under body armour. As a standalone garment they provide excellent Level 2 cut protection for the torso and arms against slashing attacks. For environments where stab or ballistic threats are also present, pairing with a certified stab or bullet-resistant vest is recommended.
Are they available in different colours?
Yes. Our long sleeve range is available in black and white. Both options are designed to work equally well as a visible outer layer or as a discreet base layer under regular clothing or body armour.
What sizes are available?
Our long sleeve T-shirts are available from Small through to 4XL. Please refer to the size guide on each product page for exact measurements. If you are unsure on sizing, contact us and we will be happy to advise.
How do I wash a cut-resistant long sleeve top?
Machine wash on a cool or warm cycle following the care label on the garment. Avoid tumble drying at high heat and do not bleach. With regular gentle washing, the Kevlar lining retains its cut resistance for the life of the garment under normal use conditions.
