Dyneema® Unveils Groundbreaking Hard Ballistic Product Innovations, Enabling a 45% Weight Reduction in Protective Armor Systems
When combined into a complete body armor system, which typically pairs a soft armor vest with hard inserts for protection against handgun and rifle threats, third-generation Dyneema® materials enable a high-performance system 45% lighter than a system made from first-generation Dyneema® solutions – further lightening the load on law enforcement and military personnel while simultaneously maintaining the highest levels of ballistic protection and comfort.
