inside and glued to the enclosure 64 made of a high strength fiber such as aramid may be used for example the plate 62 could use about seven textile layers or any other suitable number of layers a steel or polymer layer 68 may be disposed inside the textile layers 66 behind the layer 68 there is a polymeric net or woven layer 70 that may be a woven fiberglass or any other suitable material a sticky and relatively soft rubber or bitumen material 72 is disposed behind the layer 70 any suitable semisolid and sticky material may be used as the material 72 another layer 74 similar to the layer 70 may be disposed behind the rubber material 72 followed by another sticky semi solid material 76 similar to the material 72 another layer 78 similar to the layers 70 74 may be disposed behind the material 76 followed by a polymeric layer 80 that has air bubbles 82 distributed across the layer 80 the air bubbles not only absorb and spread the penetration and impact forces over a bigger area but also provide insulation against over heating when the vest is hit by many bullets in a short period of time high strength fiber layers 84 such as aramid may be disposed behind the layer 80 fig4 shows an extra combination plate or trauma plate 86 that may be disposed behind the layers 84 or behind the entire plate 62 to provide extra protection and to make sure no bullet penetrates through the vest the plate may have a plurality.
