Now that is getting colder in Europe, is there some kind of Kevlar protective jacket that I can recommend to friends in Germany in addition to good running shoes?

I understand heavy leather helps but I don’t know how much. Doubt you need kevlar to blunt a knife, but I don’t know.

Kevlar can be cut easily. Many injuries and fatalities in USA with bullet proof vest purchasers challenging someone with a knife to watch how their vest works. A trauma plate would work. Hard to wear one on your neck though.
