Newark, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/05/2014 -- Humans have been wearing armor for thousands of years. Ancient tribes fastened animal hides and plant materials around their bodies. The warriors of ancient Rome and medieval Europe covered themselves in metal plates before going into battle. By the 1400’s, armor in the Western world had become highly sophisticated. With the right armor, one is invincible. All that changed with the development of cannons and guns (1500’s). These weapons hurl projectiles at a high rate of speed, giving them energy to penetrate metal. One can increase the thickness of traditional armor materials, but they soon become too cumbersome and heavy.

Hard body armor offers more protection than soft body armor, but it’s cumbersome. Police and military personnel wear this sort of protection when there is high risk of attack. For everyday use, most wear flexible, soft body armor that one wears like an ordinary jacket.
