What Are Safeguard Clothing And How Are They 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 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.

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.

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 material is assembled in a way to form ballistic panels. A number of the cut up materials are placed on top of each other until the thickness required is accomplished. Layers of Kevlar are stitched together in order to form these panels. Different vests have different thicknesses depending on who they are made for.

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.
