As a keen motorcyclist I can vouch for the products that she brought about.

When we were first issued with Kevlar body armour I was faced with a choice of having the bullet proof option or the knife proof version 
After a bit of deliberation I asked for mine to be bullet proof at the front for when I was facing an armed criminal, and knife proof at the back for when I was facing a senior officer

As a former motorcyclist, I'll second that.
