Abstract
A protective shield, especially body armor, comprises a flexible penetration-resistant layer (1) backed up by a flexible impact-absorbing layer (2) of plastics material consisting of one or more layers of impact-absorbing plastics material each less than 0.75 mm thick so as to give increased flexibility without compromising impact-absorption. Preferably, multiple sheets of polycarbonate 0.5 mm or less thick are used, and the overall thickness of these sheets is less than 0.75 mm.
