If you’re going surfing on a windy day with colder air temperatures and overcast skies, that’s going to drop your body temperature much more than surfing in the same water temperature with a warmer air temperature on a sunny day without any wind. I know that’s a lot to take in, ...
We are certainly a long way from impenetrable armor; but in 50 years, advanced armor will give police officers a much greater level of protection when they're walking the beat. Most likely, we will also see an increase in civilian body armor in the years ahead. There is an ever-growing...
Although Kevlar is a fabric, Kevlar armor does not move or drape the way clothing does. It takes between 20 and 40 layers of Kevlar to stop a bullet, and this stack of layers is relatively stiff. It's also heavy -- a vest alone often weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms), eve...
