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.

The basic material can either be Kevlar or Dyneema. From any one of these two materials, manufacturers can be able to make a strong yet light fiber vest suited to be bullet proof thus becoming relevant. With the Dyneema, it is formed through the gel spinning process which results in it forming a strong yet soft material. Kevlar involves the spinning of a solid thread from a liquid chemical blend.

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.

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 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.

The flying cover carrier has pockets in which ballistic panels are introduced. The pockets in each carrier can actually be increased in order to carry more ballistics. The pockets also help to hold in place the ballistics on the body of the person wearing it. This is the simplest way bullet proof vest making can be explained.
