Difference between Bulletproof vest and Kevlar

Bulletproof vest vs. Kevlar

A ballistic vest or bullet-resistant vest, often called a bulletproof vest, is an item of personal armor that helps absorb the impact and reduce or stop penetration to the body from firearm-fired projectiles- and shrapnel from explosions, and is worn on the torso. Kevlar is a heat-resistant and strong synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora.
