Proposed are a high tenacity yarn and a method of manufacturing a glove using the same. More particularly, proposed are a high tenacity yarn capable of being knitted finely and thinly and having a high tenacity even if a metallic yarn is used as a core of a main yarn, and a method of manufacturing a glove using the same. To this end, the high tenacity yarn includes a core yarn and a covering yarn wound on a circumference of the core yarn. The core yarn includes a first core yarn part formed of a metal component and a second core yarn part formed of a metal component, and a total thickness of the first core yarn part and the second core yarn part is formed to be 0.07 mm or less.

A method of making a garment material and garment material and garments obtainable by the method.

The method comprises providing a first layer, which is a shaped polymer and applying a liner to the first layer, the liner being formed of yarn and having interstices through it. A fluid polymeric material is then applied to the liner so that it permeates the interstices and is allowed to solidify to thereby form a second layer in which the liner is embedded in the solid polymeric material. Fibres are then applied to form a textile layer, which serves as a skin-contacting layer.

The garment material comprises a first layer (70, 76, 78), which is a shaped polymer; a second layer (80), which is a shaped polymer that is provided at one or more locations on the first layer, the second layer taking the shape of the first layer at said one or more locations; and a textile layer (82). The second layer is located between the first layer and the textile layer and a liner (22) is embedded in the second layer, the liner being formed of yarn and having interstices through it.

The invention relates to a multilayer composite comprising a layer of leather in contact with at least one monolayer comprising parallel aligned fibers and a matrix material. The composite may further comprise film layer(s) that may be breathable and/or waterproof. The multilayer composite material is suitable for use in clothing and outdoor gear and apparel.

Multilayer composite materials combining a low tenacity nylon fabric with a fabric formed from high tenacity fibers. The fabrics are bonded with a compatibilizing adhesive system that achieves a peel strength of at least 1.5 lbs/inch. The nylon is colored with a camouflage pattern and the high strength fabric is colored with a color that does not stand out relative to the camouflage pattern. The composite materials are used for forming vest covers and plate carrier materials, particularly webless plate carrier materials having slots for hanging modular accessories.

A puncture-proof structure of the present invention comprises at least two first fiber layers, an intermediate layer and at least two second fiber layers, which are stacked in sequence. A first fiber layers includes a plurality of first woven fibers having a plurality of first gaps therebetween. Another of the first fiber layers includes a plurality of first fibers, and the plurality of first fibers is arranged to be overlapped to enclose the plurality of first gaps. A second fiber layers includes a plurality of second woven fibers, and the plurality of second woven fibers having a plurality of second gaps therebetween. Another of the second fiber layers includes a plurality of second fibers, and the plurality of second fibers is arranged to be overlapped to enclose the plurality of second gaps. By such arrangement, the puncture-proof structure can achieve the effect of preventing the front and back from being punctured.

A bullet-resistant user's wearable article convertible from a bullet-resistant backpack configuration and a bullet-resistant vest configuration and vice versa has two parts each provided with a bullet-proof shield and moveable relative to one another between a first position in which they are located at one side of a user's torso and assume the bullet-resistant backpack configuration and a second position which is assumed when one of them is turned around a user's torso and they become located at two opposite sides of the user's torso to assume the bullet-resistant vest configuration, a first connection releasably connecting the two parts with one another in the first position in which they are located at one side of the user's torso, a second connection located at one side of each of the Iwo parts for non-releasably connecting them with one another in the first position in which the parts are located at one side of the user's torso and in the second position in which the parts are located at opposite sides of the user's torso, and a third connection located at another opposite side of each of the two parts and releasably connecting the opposite sides of the two parts with one another in the second position in which the parts are located at the opposite sides of the user's torso

First-aid systems comprising an ultra compact first-aid pouch configured to fit behind the ballistic plates of a protective vest are disclosed. In this configuration, the first-aid kit is protected from shrapnel and tearing, is easily locatable and removable and does not effect the user's freedom of movement. When the first-aid pouch is removed from its protected location, it presents the first-aid equipment in a logical and easily viewable manner.
