What Are Safeguard Clothing And How Are They 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.

If you have always wondered how bullet proof vests are made, the article explains a little bit about what happens on the basis of manufacture and material used to produce. The most important materials are those that make it impenetrable even by bullets. The most commonly used materials are Kevlar and Dyneema. Manufactures are able to form light but strong fiber from these material but it is of course after they undergo a process to soften them up to suit the quality required.

The material is then woven into yarn and cords. Yarn is a strong and continuous fiber that is used to form fabrics. The material is made into the many different colors we know bullet proof attire to be. For a civilian, this gives them a wide range of option and for the authorities, they can get to pick a color that is similar to their uniform.

A sheet material is formed as the yarn are woven further. These materials appear like normal fabric material which you would take to a tailor for them to make clothing for you. This material is then taken to the protection clothing making companies where the process of making bullet proof clothes can now begin.

Even though it looks good enough for a tailor to use, it is not to be cut with scissors. In these factories there are machines made especially for the purpose of creating cutting up this material. The front and the back of the vest may be of different sizes but the machines are designed to be able to cut the appropriate sizes and for different sizes of the vest.

The cut-up materials are then assembled together and placed on top of each other. Not all vests are of the same thickness. The number of pieces on each vest determines how thick the vest is going to be. The thickness also depends on the client. For a civilian, it will not be as thick as that of a soldier as there are so many threats on the battle field.

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 implanted. The pockets may actually be improved in the carrier. The pockets are also able to hold the ballistics in position in the body of the person wearing it. That is basically how bullet proofs are made.
