The Process Through Which Safeguard Clothing Are Made

By Frank Patterson


We commonly refer to them as bullet proof attire. They are mostly used by officers of the law when they find themselves in a cross fire or any other dangerous situation.We all know what safeguard clothing is. However, civilians are also allowed to have them. This is because you are never totally assured of your safety because of the existence of police officers.

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 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.

They then proceed to weave the cord and the yarn together in order be able to come up with a uniform fabric. This fabric appears to be a large piece of material. It actually appears like the fabric that is used by tailors in making clothes. These materials are then taken to the factory to begin the process of making the vests after the overall checking their qualities.

There are special machines that are used to cut up the material into smaller piece. They can be able to cut into different sizes as required. The front and the back are of different sizes, and these too are put into consideration. The material may be all soft but cutting it up with scissors will take forever and it you are more likely to make mistakes.

The required thickness of fabric, depending on the level of protection needed, is assembled in a way to form a ballistic panel. Kevlar layers are then stitched together to form these panels. The vests are usually not all of the same thickness, meaning others are safer compared to others. This means that you purchase a vest according to the kind of danger you are likely to get into.

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.

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.
