DuPont Kevlar XP fabric is also up to 10% lighter than other fabrics used in commercially available Level IIIA ballistic systems. This side-opening armor system combines essential coverage and maneuverability with its ergonomically designed Critical Contour Cut, while providing split-second adaptability when needed most.
Both DuPont and independent tests show that Kevlar XP consistently stops bullets within the first three layers of a vest while the remaining layers absorb the energy of the bullet, resulting in less trauma, or backface deformation, to the wearer. Based on DuPont's experience, significantly more layers are typically required to stop a bullet in other commercially available lightweight technologies.
Foreman continued, "Working with world-class, technology leaders such as DuPont has enabled us to meet our customer requirements, whether in terms of price, performance or delivery – all three being critical components to success. Over the next year, we intend to add features to many of our core products that will provide greater protection to the men and women who rely upon them."
