No more is body armor the dominion of politicians and the military, it is now available for the elite who can afford it. Today’s armor is no longer bulky and uncomfortable, modern day technology has introduced new lightweight materials that are barely discernable from ordinary fabric and textiles. The next evolution in fashion is bulletproof clothing, correctly called ballistic or bullet resistant clothing that protects its wearer from projectiles fired at close range.

New advances in technology has resulted in materials and fabrics that are light weight and less bulky.
