Cut-resistant base layers for officers who wear armor.
UBAC-style shirts and covert under-uniform garments designed to be worn beneath ballistic vests — closing the gap where bullets aren’t the threat. Independently lab-rated ANSI A6 cut resistance.
What ballistic armor doesn’t protect against
Ballistic vests stop bullets. They don’t stop slashes, stabs, or cuts from edged weapons during searches, arrests, foot pursuits, or close-quarters confrontations.
Cut-Tuff® Core base layers and UBAC shirts add ANSI A6 cut resistance to your existing kit — worn directly against the skin, under the vest, with no change to your uniform’s profile.
Why officers choose Cut-Tuff® Core
Independently lab-tested by Groupe CTT Inc. in Quebec, Canada — designed to layer under existing tactical kit without compromise.
Cut and slash resistance
ANSI A6 / EN ISO Level F (the highest cut-resistance level on both scales). Independently tested against the edged-weapon threats officers face during searches, arrests, and close-quarters confrontations.
