What is Kevlar®
Kevlar® is a soft knitted non-abrasive material and is comfortable against the skin. The fabric is unique in construction and offers breathability and flexibility. The material itself is designed to dissipate heat quickly and distribute air evenly through the fibres.
How strong is Kevlar ®
Kevlar® is a man made fibre, which offers incredible protection against abrasion, cuts and heat. Five times stronger than steel pound for pound, flame resistant up to 400 degrees Celsius and exceptionally cut and slash resistant.
Kevlar® in various forms is used in ropes that tie up ships, clothing worn by saw-millers, firefighters, glass handlers and air force pilots, tank armour, aeroplane wings and lightweight canoes.
Probably the best known is the production of bullet proof vests! Although constructed in a different way (lets face it who wants to wear a bullet proof vest on their arse!)
The knitted Kevlar fabric cannot be easily ripped, torn or damaged in any way apart from manually cutting with scissors and the like.
The Draggin' Jeans Kevlar® is fully machine washable / dryable and requires no maintenanace, they look good, feel comfortable and most importantly... they work!
