What is Bulletproof Vest?
A bulletproof vest, also known as a ballistic vest or body armor, is a protective garment designed to protect the wearer from firearm projectiles and other ballistic threats. It is typically worn by military personnel, law enforcement officers, security personnel, and individuals in high-risk professions. Bulletproof vests are constructed using multiple layers of strong synthetic fibers, such as Kevlar, Twaron, or Dyneema, which have high tensile strength and are resistant to penetration. These fibers are tightly woven or layered together to create a fabric panel that can absorb and disperse the energy of a bullet, reducing the risk of injury. The vests are available in different levels of protection, which are classified based on their ability to stop bullets of varying calibers and velocities. Common levels of protection include Level II, Level IIIA, and Level III, with each level offering increasing levels of ballistic resistance.
