WHY DUPONT™ KEVLAR®?
• PROVEN PROTECTION - Kevlar® has been used by law enforcement and the
military for decades
• ABRASION & PUNCTURE RESISTANCE - Kevlar® fiber boosts impact abrasion resistance, lessens wear, provides puncture protection and tear resistance
• LIGHTWEIGHT - Kevlar® fiber is five times stronger than steel (on an equal
weight basis), providing lightweight strength without sacrificing
performance or protection
• STRONG & RUGGED - Kevlar® fiber maintains its high-performance qualities,
like tensile strength, even after repeated stress and strain
