This patent describes a ballistic vest as a worn garment designed to protect the wearer from bullets and/or explosive shrapnel. This patent is for a vest that is comprised of a front panel that will protect the front end of the user as well as a rear panel. These panels are held by front and rear carriers, respectively, and are connected to the carriers by elastic straps which are rigidly fixed to the edges of the panels. The panels are composed of multiple layers of flexible impact-resistant material, such as Kevlar, that are contained within a flexible jacket. The layers are free-floating across the area of the panel, making the vest light and comfortable to wear. The rigid fixing of only the edges of the layers to the fasteners ensures that they will remain intact after multiple bullet impacts from different angles as tested. | |||
