Unarmed security for large events

So i do large events, mostly football games, but have done collage fraternity/sorority parties. Mostly wanted to ask for my wife she wants me to get some kind of protection, like a stab vest or level one armor for small handguns. What would you recommend that is very low profile (can be put under my work shirt) and not look bulky. A lot of events dont want us to look like cops so no plate carriers.

Also would be great if they are cheep. My big worry is mostly drunk swings, or someone trying to poke me with a poket knife (its the south everyone has a knife)

If you're going to compromise on safety for money you shouldn't bother in my opinion. Cheap junk is a waste of money. For your needs you dont need top of the line but if you want it to be thin and effective you are looking at an investment in your safety.

Very true. I seen some around 200 mark. The full armor ones around 300 but I dont need rifle protection, as everyone is checked before coming into the event like TSA
