It would appear that most people who are attacked with a blade / stabbed are:

1) Stabbed more than once
2) Attacked in the leg / groin then head then torso. So a slash resistant hoody no good if I go for your thigh
3) Generally get a beating too

I prefer offence rather than defence. These items do have a place, but for £70 I could kit myself up to resist slightly more than someone and their mate Stanley. I do like the look of the razorwire hoody though...
