The Spectra Shield Police Bullet Proof Vest

There are different types of materials used in making a police bulletproof vest. The first materials to be used in body armors are skin animals, followed by metal plates. However, these materials are very heavy, thus making the wearer uncomfortable. The first synthetic fiber was then discovered, the Kevlar. The Kevlar fiber became the foundation of ballistic vests. After some time, more and more synthetic fibers for police bullet proof vest are discovered, and one of them is the Spectra Shield.

The Spectra Shield police bullet proof vest was first made by AlliedSignal. Because of its strength and lightweight, this material has been used in the construction of military personnel and law enforcer’s bullet proof vest and other ballistic materials. The innovation of the Spectra Shield police bullet proof vest did not stop. Throughout the years, other Spectra Shield II product lines are released.

These are the improved product lines of the Spectra Shield police bullet proof vest:
