Abstract

A lightweight, ballistic resistant fabric armor constructed of multiple layers (38, 39) of high performance fiber woven fabric (38, 39) arranged in a quasi-isotropic orientation. The fabric armor is used in ballistic resistant garments to cover and protect vital portions of the human body. Used in a garment, the fabric armor is of minimal areal density and bulk while providing flexibility, freedom of movement, ventilation, and an inconspicuous appearance. The fabric armor meets many different global ballistic standards, with the number of woven fabric layers (38, 39) determined by the level of protection desired.
