ballistic vest
Wearable projectile shield
A ballistic vest is body armor designed to absorb the impact of bullets and shrapnel, typically worn by police, military personnel, and security professionals.
The protective panels are usually made of layered synthetic fibers like Kevlar.
Also called a bulletproof vest, though no vest stops all projectiles: The officer's ballistic vest saved his life.
