<p>Body protecting clothing comprising a plurality of protective elements (1) formed and arranged so as to at least impede intended contact by a stabbing weapon with the body of the wearer of the clothing. The elements (1) are of impact-resistant glass composite material, comprising layers of glass fibre impregnated with resin and are mounted on a flexible support sheet (10). The material of the support sheet (10) is a close-woven fabric defining a plurality of mesh holes (11). The element (1) is attached to the sheet (10) by way of a small rivet-like attachment (12) which is located by a hole (13) formed in the upper end of the element and by one of the mesh holes (11) in the sheet (10), the mesh hole (11) allowing enlargement to receive the attachment (12). The element (1) is thus suspended by the fixing attachment (12).</p> |
