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 manufactures are able to weave all of those individual fibers into yarns and cords. The yarn is a long continuous fiber suitable for the production of fabrics and sheet materials. The yarn appears like normal material and also comes in different colors. The most commonly used are black, jungle green and at times the color white.

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.

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.

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.
