Comparison of Kevlar VS Ballistic Nylon as body armour.
Modern reinforced Kevlar is surprisingly good at resisting bladed weapons as well as bullets.
Ballistic nylon was originally developed by the DuPont corporation as a material for flak jackets to be worn by World War II airmen. It has since been used in infantry flak jackets before being replaced by Kevlar.
Kevlar is a well-known component of personal armour such as combat helmets, ballistic face masks, and ballistic vests. The PASGT helmet and vest used by United States military forces since the 1980s both have Kevlar as a key component, as do their replacements. Other military uses include bulletproof facemasks used by sentries and spall liners used to protect the crews of armoured fighting vehicles.
