SOFT ARMOR PLATE

Description

Soft Armor Plates:

Materials:

1. Kevlar:
   • A synthetic fiber known for its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio.
   • Commonly used in body armor and helmets.
2. Twaron:
   • Similar to Kevlar, it is a para-aramid fiber used in ballistic protection.
3. Dyneema:
   • A brand of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers.
   • Lighter than Kevlar and used in soft body armor applications.
4. Spectra:
   • Another type of UHMWPE fiber, offering similar properties to Dyneema.

Characteristics:

• Flexibility: Allows for greater mobility and comfort, ideal for extended wear.
• Weight: Generally lighter than hard armor plates.
• Protection Level: Effective against handgun rounds and shrapnel, but not suitable for high-velocity rifle rounds.
• Thickness: Thinner and more easily concealable under clothing.
