ballistic vests
Wearable projectile shields
Ballistic vests are garments designed to absorb or deflect bullets and shrapnel, worn by police, military personnel, and others at risk of gunfire.
They contain layers of tightly woven synthetic fibers like Kevlar that disperse the force of impact.
Also called bulletproof vests, though no vest stops all projectiles: The officer's ballistic vest saved his life.
