Protective clothing for corrections officers.
Cut, stab, and bite-resistant garments — independently lab-rated ANSI A6 — worn by officers in correctional, juvenile detention, and transport environments. Under uniform or as outerwear.
What you’re protecting against
Officers in correctional environments face daily exposure to improvised weapons (shanks, sharpened toothbrushes, broken plastic), bites and scratches during cell extractions and disturbances, and slashes during contraband searches.
Standard correctional uniforms offer no cut, stab, or bite protection. Cut-Tuff® Core garments add ANSI A6 lab-rated protection — worn under uniform or as outerwear during high-risk operations.
Why corrections teams choose Cut-Tuff® Core
Independently lab-tested by Groupe CTT Inc. in Quebec, Canada — designed for environments where standard uniforms aren’t enough.
Cut, stab & bite resistance
Check each garment’s cut and puncture ratings and the areas covered. ANSI A6 is a cut-resistance rating; EN 388 puncture Level 4 is an industrial puncture rating. Neither rating alone establishes protection against knife or spike attacks.
Under-uniform compatibility
Base layers, t-shirts, and long-sleeve shirts designed to fit under standard correctional uniforms without bulk or visible bulge. Lightweight 100% latex-free polyester/spandex blend.
Outerwear options
Full-zip jackets, hoodies, and arm guards for visible-deterrent wear during cell extractions, disturbances, and high-risk operations.
Built for government procurement
Net-30 purchase orders for correctional facilities, juvenile detention centers, and government agencies. DDP shipping. Same business day quotes. W-8BEN-E provided on request.

Cut ratings measure resistance to a blade under specified laboratory conditions. ANSI cut ratings run from A1 to A9. EN 388 puncture testing uses a standard probe and does not establish resistance to knife attacks or hypodermic needles. Stab protection requires separate testing, such as NIJ 0115.00 for knife and spike threats. Review the individual garment’s test report and coverage before selecting it for a specific hazard.
