The
purpose of body protection is fairly self-explanatory. However, today most
people equate its function to stopping an incoming round from doing damage. Its
role goes beyond thwarting a bullet. It can also be effective in absorbing or
deflecting a slashing or bludgeoning physical attack. Hence, it is essential
that one must go to an armor manufacturer that provides all his protection
needs.
Armor
company utilize strong ballistic fabrics
Ballistic
fabric is available from a number of manufacturers in various styles and
compositions, each type having unique ballistic resistant properties. The body
armor manufacturer may construct a given model of ballistic panel from a single
fabric style or from two or more styles in combination. The location and number
of layers of each style within the multiple-layer ballistic panel influence the
overall ballistic performance of the panel.
Armor manufacturer add protection for blunt trauma
Some
manufacturers coat the ballistic fabric with various materials. For example,
the manufacturer may add a layer of non-ballistic material for the sole purpose
of increasing blunt trauma protection. Even composites of two or more different
ballistic materials are available. As a consequence, it is impossible to
compare one product with another based solely on the number of fabric layers in
the ballistic panel.
Body armor distributors must provide you information
The
size label on a vest is very important. Not only does it include size, model,
style, manufacturer's logo, and care instructions as regular clothing does, it
must also include the protection rating, lot number, date of issue, an
indication of which side should face out, a serial number, a note indicating it
meets NIJ approval standards, and/or type I through type III-A vests large
warning that the vest will not protect the wearer from sharp instruments or
rifle fire. In addition, some bulletproof vests are custom-made to meet the
customer's protection needs or size.
