The Process Through Which Safeguard Clothing Are Made

By Frank Patterson


In the times we are living in, the levels of insecurity have escalated to high levels, and we cannot only rely on the police to protect us. Thanks to the existence of safeguard clothing we are able to protect ourselves although we are not indestructible. The article below talks about how bullet proof clothes are made and what materials are used.

The basic material can either be Kevlar or Dyneema. From any one of these two materials, manufacturers can be able to make a strong yet light fiber vest suited to be bullet proof thus becoming relevant. With the Dyneema, it is formed through the gel spinning process which results in it forming a strong yet soft material. Kevlar involves the spinning of a solid thread from a liquid chemical blend.

The manufactures are able to weave all of those individual fibers into yarns and cords. The yarn is a long continuous fiber suitable for the production of fabrics and sheet materials. The yarn appears like normal material and also comes in different colors. The most commonly used are black, jungle green and at times the color white.

After the yarn or the cords are woven together they form sheet material. This is a large piece of clothing that can be cut into smaller pieces. The material actually appears like the normal fabric a tailor would use to make clothes. This material is taken to the companies that specialize in making bullet proof clothing and the work begins.

There are special machines that are used to cut up the material into smaller piece. They can be able to cut into different sizes as required. The front and the back are of different sizes, and these too are put into consideration. The material may be all soft but cutting it up with scissors will take forever and it you are more likely to make mistakes.

The required thickness of fabric, depending on the level of protection needed, is assembled in a way to form a ballistic panel. Kevlar layers are then stitched together to form these panels. The vests are usually not all of the same thickness, meaning others are safer compared to others. This means that you purchase a vest according to the kind of danger you are likely to get into.

The next step is to put the material under covers. The covers help to prevent them being affected by factors such as humidity and water. The cover is like an umbrella that protects you from the sun or the rain. The cover actually highly contributes to giving the best its bullet proof characteristics.

The flying cover carrier has pockets in which ballistic panels are introduced. The pockets in each carrier can actually be increased in order to carry more ballistics. The pockets also help to hold in place the ballistics on the body of the person wearing it. This is the simplest way bullet proof vest making can be explained.
