Here, every article is written by those who believe that bulletproof vests can be reinvented: welcome to VEST PARIS , where elegance, safety and innovation discreetly meet.
At VEST PARIS , each creation is born from a real need, expressed by those who live the city intensely. Since the launch of the V007 bulletproof and stab-resistant vest , many customers have expressed a recurring need: to be able to access discreet and practical anti-knife and ballistic protection, without necessarily purchasing it permanently. Whether it is a moment when an individual needs to feel safe, a one-off mission for a professional, a film shoot, a risky trip or a limited budget, all have this requirement in common: to temporarily benefit from equipment that is effective, discreet and aesthetic.
To meet these concrete expectations, VEST PARIS has decided to offer the V007 for rental, by the day, week, or month. A simple, flexible, and accessible solution, true to the brand's DNA: combining personal protection and urban elegance.
A deteriorating security situation in France
According to official data from the Ministerial Statistical Service for Internal Security (SSMSI), the number of attempted homicides recorded in France increased by 78% between 2016 (2,259 incidents) and 2023 (4,015 incidents), representing an average annual increase of around 9%. As for homicides, they rose from 823 in 2020 to more than 1,010 in 2023, marking an increase of more than 22% in three years, including a 5% increase in 2023 alone. In such a context, the question of personal protection, whether occasional or regular, is becoming a real issue for many professionals and individuals alike.
It is to address this reality that VEST PARIS is launching a new rental service this fall 2025 of the V007 bulletproof jacket, an urban model certified NIJ IIIA , in order to make accessible a high level of defense against knife and ballistic attacks.
V007 - an urban bulletproof jacket certified NIJ IIIA
Discretion and protection combined
At first glance, the V007 bulletproof and stab-resistant vest looks like a classic urban-style sleeveless down jacket: neat cut, high-quality materials, and minimalist finishes. Yet, it incorporates complete and discreet ballistic protection. The standard model is NIJ IIIA certified, one of the highest standards for handguns, while the 3A+ version offers increased resistance but is more rigid.
Designed and manufactured in Paris, the V007 bulletproof and stab-resistant jacket protects against both firearm and knife attacks thanks to its integrated stab protection. Its symmetrical triple Velcro closure, hidden beneath a central zipper, guarantees an optimal fit, seamless protection, and perfect invisibility. The result: a functional, protective, and undetectable jacket in urban environments.
Which protection should you choose? Options, levels and prices
VEST PARIS offers several levels of ballistic and stab protection to meet different security needs, with simple and transparent daily pricing plans. This bulletproof protection is provided by Protecop, a leading French provider of ballistic innovation and a partner of numerous elite units such as the BRI.
Level IIIA – €79 excluding VAT / day
The NIJ IIIA certified V007 model offers flexible protection against:
- 9 mm projectiles,
- the 357 SIG,
- the 44 Magnum,
- and the majority of handguns used in urban environments.
This version is suitable for most situations: one-off missions, sensitive events, travel in moderate-risk areas, etc.
Level IIIA+ – €89 excluding VAT / day
The more rigid IIIA+ reinforced version provides additional protection against more powerful ammunition:
- 7.62 Tokarev, ammunition from Soviet semi-automatic pistols,
- 12 mm Brennecke, used in particular in certain shotgun cartridges.
Ideal for more volatile environments or international missions, this version combines the effectiveness of a police or military vest with the appearance of discreet civilian clothing.
Option: neck protection – €20 excluding VAT / day
Additionally, VEST PARIS offers ballistic neck protection, seamlessly integrated into the V007's design. Comfortable and discreet, it enhances safety in a particularly vulnerable area without compromising mobility or style.
