Evidence-Informed Design

SharkWeave's product development is grounded in data from the FBI Active Shooter Report, CISA preparedness research, and peer-reviewed school safety literature. The Protection Gap, the window between an active threat and law enforcement entry, is not a hypothetical. It is documented, measurable, and the design problem SharkWeave exists to solve.

Mission-Driven Approach

SharkWeave exists because the people closest to children in a crisis, families and caregivers, have been left without practical, wearable protection options. Every product decision, every material choice, and every curriculum resource is made with one question in mind: will this actually help a people feel safer when it matters most? 

Materials Information

SharkWeave protective apparel is constructed with two materials that have decades of documented performance in ballistic and cut-resistant applications. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the strongest fibers by weight available in textile form, used in body armor, military-grade protective equipment, and high-performance safety gear worldwide. Kevlar is an aramid fiber with a well-established record in law enforcement and defense applications, known for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to impact. Together, these materials allow SharkWeave to build protection that is lightweight enough to wear daily, flexible enough to move in, and strong enough to matter when it counts.

Technology Validation

SharkWeave protective apparel is built with Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and Kevlar, materials with established ballistic resistance standards. Prototyping is conducted in partnership with the New York Fashion Innovation Center, ensuring that protective performance and wearable design are developed together, not traded off against each other.

Built for Real-World Use

Protective gear that stays in a locker or never gets worn is not protection. SharkWeave designs for the reality of school mornings, busy hallways, and kids who need to move. UHMWPE and Kevlar materials are integrated into clothing that functions like clothing, so families do not have to choose between comfort and safety. Nationwide customer validation informed every design iteration, and prototyping through the New York Fashion Innovation Center ensures that real-world wearability is tested alongside protective performance, not after it.

Founded by Educators

Cristi and Stephanee built SharkWeave because they understood something the traditional safety products market had missed: the people most motivated to act in a crisis are families, and families had been given nothing practical to work with. SharkWeave is the company they wished had already existed.
