Soft armor is a type of protective gear designed to absorb and reduce the impact of bullets and other projectiles. It is typically made from flexible materials like Kevlar or Dyneema, which allow for greater mobility and comfort compared to hard armor. Soft armor is commonly used in vests worn by law enforcement and military personnel. While soft armor provides significant protection against handgun rounds and shrapnel, it is not as effective against high-caliber bullets. It is often used in combination with hard armor plates for enhanced safety in high-risk situations. The lightweight nature of soft armor makes it suitable for everyday wear in various environments.
