Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a cut-resistant T-shirt different from a regular one?
Our cut-resistant short sleeve T-shirts have a hidden inner Kevlar lining. Kevlar fibres are woven tightly enough to resist the cutting force of a knife or blade at EN388 Level 2, protecting the torso and upper arms. From the outside, the garment looks and feels exactly like a standard T-shirt.
What cut resistance level do your short sleeve T-shirts offer?
Our Kevlar-lined short sleeve T-shirts are rated to EN388 Level 2 cut resistance. This means the lining has been independently tested and proven to withstand cutting force from sharp blades. For the highest available cut protection (EN388 Level 4), our Spectra-lined garments in the adult range provide the maximum standard.
Can these be worn under body armour?
Yes. Our short sleeve cut-resistant T-shirts are designed to be worn as a base layer under body armour, adding a secondary layer of protection around the sides and arms - areas that are not always covered by a standard vest. They are slim enough to fit comfortably under most covert and tactical vests without adding bulk.
Are they suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. The garments are designed to look and function like standard T-shirts. They are available in black and white, are machine washable, and are comfortable enough for all-day use. Many customers wear them daily as a personal protection measure without anyone knowing they are wearing protective clothing.
What sizes are available?
Our short sleeve T-shirts are available from Small through to 4XL. Please refer to the size guide on each product page for exact chest measurements. If you are unsure on sizing, contact us and we will be happy to advise.
How do I care for a cut-resistant T-shirt?
Machine wash on a cool or warm cycle following the care label instructions. Do not tumble dry at high heat as this can degrade the protective fibres over time. Iron on a low setting if required. With proper care, the cut resistance of the Kevlar lining remains effective for the life of the garment under normal use conditions.
