As protective equipment, body armor is widely used in the military, law enforcement and security fields to protect the wearer from gunshot and puncture injuries. Traditional bulletproof materials such as Kevlar and wound polyethylene have become the main materials for body armor because of their high strength and lightweight.
Modern body armor is usually divided into software and hardware. Soft body armor is suitable for everyday use, lightweight and comfortable to wear, but mainly protects against pistol bullets. The hard body armor is more complex in structure, combined with ceramic or steel plate, can defend against higher power rifle bullets, which is very suitable for battlefield or high-risk occasions.
With the progress of science and technology, new bulletproof materials continue to emerge, many companies began to develop intelligent body armor, with temperature regulation, sensor monitoring and other functions. This equipment not only improves the protection performance, but also enhances the flexibility and comfort of the wearer.
At the same time, the application of body armor has gradually expanded to the general public. In recent years, security incidents in specific regions have occurred frequently, and many people have begun to pay attention to personal safety, driving the development of the body armor market. However, when choosing body armor, consumers should carefully evaluate the product grade and application scenarios according to different needs to ensure adequate protection of their own safety.
