Body Protector
About our Body Protectors
When aquarists or vets work in close proximity to Stingrays, this Body Protector offers an extra line of defence.
The ‘Venom Defender’ Body Protector is made of 2 Heavy Duty Layers of SUPER FABRIC®.
This product is made up of the highest cut AND puncture resistance materials, produced to an industrial standard.
Our Dive Body Protector features an adjustable strap at the back ensuring a perfect fit. It also features a split in bottom area to accommodate leg movement.
Please note; Venom Defender Body Protectors should only ever be used as a secondary protection against stingray barbs as a direct hit may be delivered with a significant force from the tail that could lead to a puncture of the Body Protector.
For additional protection we recommend:
1-2-1 products and devices should only be used by trained professionals.
