The Tactical Kevlar® Protective Sleeves put Cut Level 4, double-layer 100% Kevlar® between your forearm and everything trying to Cut, Slash, Scratch, Bite, Puncture, or Burn it. At 18" long and 4" wide, the seamless knit construction covers wrist to upper forearm with a thumb slot to lock position and prevent ride-up during movement. Lightweight, breathable, and completely unrestricted — wear them alone or tucked under your gloves for full fingertip-to-forearm coverage. Fire resistant by nature.
Great for Law Enforcement, Security, Firefighters, Search & Rescue workers, as well as Construction workers & Mechanics.
Key Features
- Cut Level 4 Rated — Highest standard single-layer arm sleeve cut protection — engineered to stop blade contact that lower-rated sleeves won't
- 100% Kevlar® — Double-Layer Construction — Two-ply Kevlar knit with fibre shield treatment for superior cut, puncture, and abrasion resistance
- Thumb Slot — Locks the sleeve in position and prevents ride-up during active movement, searches, and physical confrontations
- Bite Resistant — Kevlar construction resists human and animal bite penetration — critical for law enforcement, K9 handlers, and corrections
- Fire & Flash Resistant — Kevlar's inherent thermal properties protect against brief flame exposure and flash hazards without added treatment
- 18" Length / 4" Wide — Full wrist-to-upper-forearm coverage at the dimensions where laceration and bite exposure is highest
- Seamless Knit — No seams means no pressure points or chafing during extended all-day wear
- Lightweight & Breathable — Thin Kevlar weave allows airflow — no heat buildup, no restriction, wearable for a full shift
- Pairs with Gloves — Slim enough to tuck under tactical or cut-resistant gloves for continuous fingertip-to-forearm protection
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cut Level 4 and why does it matter?
Cut resistance is rated on a standardized scale (ANSI/ISEA 105 or EN388). Level 4 is a high-performance rating that means the sleeve withstands significant blade force before the material is cut through. For law enforcement, corrections, and security professionals regularly exposed to edged weapons, broken glass, and sharp metal, Level 4 is the benchmark to look for — lower-rated sleeves provide meaningfully less protection in real contact scenarios.
What exactly does Kevlar® protect against?
Kevlar® is a para-aramid synthetic fiber engineered for high tensile strength and cut resistance. These sleeves protect against edged weapons, broken glass, sharp metal edges, animal claws, and human and animal bites. The double-layer construction with fibre shield treatment adds puncture resistance beyond what single-ply Kevlar provides. The inherent fire resistance protects against brief flash and flame exposure. They do not provide ballistic (bullet) protection.
Can I wear these under my gloves?
Yes — this is the recommended setup for maximum coverage. The sleeves are slim and flexible enough to tuck under most tactical, cut-resistant, or leather duty gloves, creating continuous protection from fingertip to forearm. Pair with the Cut Resistant Duty/Search Gloves for full hand and forearm coverage during searches and arrests.
