Abstract
A bullet resistant vest is provided from a plurality of layers of double woven cloth of loosely-woven aramid fiber with nylon film or nylon fabric interposed between some of the layers of aramid fiber double woven cloth, bar tacking being provided for loosely maintaining the layers of double woven cloth and nylon film or fabric together so that shape and flexibility are maintained while not holding the aramid fiber too tightly. The cloth sheets in each layer of double woven cloth of aramid fiber are connected together at predetermined spaced intervals by selected yarns passing from one cloth sheet to the other. A plurality of densely woven material layers may be provided to maintain the vest configuration and prevent collapse over long periods of time, and the entire vest may be sealed in a water-tight envelope.
