Kevlar vests

Many of us don’t know about what Kevlar vests are and how they are used? So I planned to give a short description about what are Kevlar vests. A ballistic vest or Kevlar vest is an item of protective clothing that absorbs the impact from gun-fired projectiles and shrapnel fragments from explosion. This protection is for the torso. Soft vests are made from many layers of woven or laminated fibers and protect wearers from projectiles fired from handguns, shotguns, and small fragments from explosives such as hand grenades. When metal or ceramic plates are used with a soft vest, it can also protect wearers from shots fired from rifles. In combination with metallic components or tightly-woven fiber layers, soft armor can offer some protection to the wearer from stab and slash from a knife. Soft vests are commonly worn by police forces, private citizens and private security guards, and hard-plate reinforced vests are mainly worn by combat soldiers in the armies of various nations as well as police armed response units.
Modern body armor may combine a ballistic vest with other items of protective clothing, such as a helmet. Vests intended for police and military use may also include ballistic shoulder, and side protection armor components.
Thus I think, now you had got a short idea about what is Kevlar vest and how it is used… More to come guys, so keep in touch… Bye for now and see you guys in my next post.
