The Process Through Which Safeguard Clothing Are Made

By Frank Patterson


We live in a world that is truly unsafe. Gun violence has become very common in the society today, and not even the law can assure us of our safety. This is why many civilians have opted to suit up in safeguard clothing. You may not have known this but some places are so unsafe, and bullet proof clothing is allowed. This does not mean you should walk into dangerous situations as you may steal get hurt.

You may wonder how these bullet proof clothes are made and this article explains a bit of it. The manufacturers produce fiber or filament that is light but at the same time strong. They can use either Dyneema or Kevlar. They are the most common ones. Kevlar is used by spinning a solid thread from a liquid chemical blend. Dyneema, on the other hand, is formed by a gel-spinning process which means a lot of strength combined with softness.

The yarn is a strong and continuous fiber that is used in forming material. The fiber is then woven together into cords and into yarns. These are usually in different usually in many different colors. The main colors are jungle green, black, navy blue and even white. The clients can choose the color of their liking, and for police and other units, they choose those that go with their uniform.

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.

The material is not cut with scissors in case you are wondering. There are special machines used to cut multiple materials at the same time and into different sizes. A wide variety of test is done in order to determine the proper thickness of the ballistic material. The thickness of the material, in the end, depends entirely on what the manufacturer was trying to achieve.

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.

After the assembling of the material, there needs to be a protective cover. This is like your phone having a screen protector to prevent it from breaking. The cover can be heat sealed as a way of protecting the ballistic material inside. This is mainly from humidity and water. The cover is what makes the vest have its bullet proof qualities.

Finally, there is a ballistic cover carrier. It actually has pockets in which ballistic panels are inserted and are able to hold positions on to the physique of the person clothing it. It is actually possible to increase the number of pockets in the coat or jacket, and that is basically how a simple bullet proof vest is made.
