ANTI-BALLISTIC FABRIC Weave style is very important.
- If woven too dense - too much damage to the yarn will decrease performance
- If woven too loose - not enough filaments encounter the projectile
- Plain weave gives more cross-over points - best performance
- Tenacity of fibres and filament count has an influence on ballistic performance
Odours Are the result of bacteria build-up. Wash yourself before wearing vest. Follow cleaning procedures. Commercial ‘odour neutralising’ products are available. If the vest becomes ‘odour’ impregnated due to insufficient care, contact the manufacturer to have the cover/carrier replaced.
