Soft armor is a type of body armor used by infantry personnel to protect against small arms fire and shrapnel. It is typically made of a combination of materials such as Kevlar, Spectra Shield, or Dyneema, and is designed to be lightweight and flexible. Soft armor is usually worn over the torso and is designed to absorb the impact of bullets and other projectiles. It is often used in conjunction with hard armor, which is designed to stop bullets from penetrating the body. Soft armor is used by military personnel, law enforcement officers, and private security personnel. It is also used by civilians in certain situations, such as during active shooter incidents. Soft armor is typically rated according to the level of protection it provides, with higher ratings providing greater protection. Some companies in the soft armor market include Armor Express, Point Blank Solutions, Safariland, and KDH Defense Systems. Show Less Read more
