The Overwatch® Nova is a premium stab-resistant security vest designed for security professionals working in higher-risk environments. Combining lightweight, flexible aramid armour panels with a breathable reinforced mesh carrier, the Nova provides dependable protection, practical functionality, and all-day wearability.

Its low-profile, body-conforming design moves naturally with the wearer, helping maintain comfort and stability throughout extended shifts.

Protective Design & Advantages

• Continuous Frontal Coverage
  A full-width front armour panel extends across the zip area, helping reduce the vulnerable centre-gap commonly found in standard zip-front vest designs.
• Tested Stab Resistance
  The internal armour system consists of two flexible aramid soft armour panels tested to the NIJ 0115.00 stab resistance methodology for knife and spike threats.
• Adaptable Visibility
  Removable high-visibility reflective strips and interchangeable SECURITY identification patches allow the vest to be configured for high-visibility patrol duties or lower-profile operational environments.

Custom/Branding

The Overwatch® Nova is designed for professional security operations where clear identification and a consistent appearance are essential. Front and rear hook-and-loop panels allow organisations to customise the vest with company logos, SECURITY patches, role identifiers, department designations and site-specific branding.

Custom identification helps improve officer recognition, reinforces organisational presence and presents a professional image in public-facing environments.

Custom branding is ideal for:

• Shopping centre security
• Corporate and commercial security
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Universities and educational institutions
• Government and local council security
• Public transport operations
• Event and venue security

Custom patches can be manufactured to match your organisation's branding requirements, including logos, role designations, colours and specific wording.
