Abstract
A protective garment, such as a bullet-proof vest, has multiple layers of penetration-resisting aramid fabric within an outer cover. A trauma pack is mounted on the garment to reinforce the protective action of the aramid fabric layers. The trauma pack is detachably mounted so that the garment can be used with or without the pack in position. Within the trauma pack there is a sheet of impact-absorbing plastics material, particularly a polycarbonate sheet, and this may be backed with a foamed plastics layer.
