bulletproof vests
Wearable body shields
Bulletproof vests are garments designed to absorb or deflect bullets and shrapnel, typically worn by police, soldiers, and security personnel.
The core is usually made of layered synthetic fibers like Kevlar or ceramic plates.
Despite the name, no vest is truly bulletproof—all have limits based on caliber and velocity.
Officers are required to wear bulletproof vests on patrol.
