Body armour poses a dilemma for every CHERUB agent.

On one hand, it provides vital protection that could potentially save an agents life.

On the other, most body armour is bulky, it restricts movement and it is highly suspicious for a young agent to wear it in most undercover situations.

The ideal solution is is the latest generation of lightweight body armour which is reinforced with a carbon nanotube based weave.

Unfortunately this armour is currently at the experimental stage and each piece must be custom made. Due to it's huge expense ultra lightweight armour is only issued to CHERUB agents under the most dangerous circumstances.
