WHERE TO BUY

WHY Kevlar® EXO™

STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, AND HEAT
RESISTANCE IN ONE FIBER.

PUNCHES FAR ABOVE ITS WEIGHT

Kevlar® EXO™ bends, folds, and follows complex forms with an extremely high tensile strength relative to its weight.

HEAT RESISTANCE BAKED IN

Kevlar® EXO™ resists heat and flame without an added coating or treatment. It doesn’t melt.

FLEXES WITH MANY DESIGN NEEDS

Kevlar® EXO™ fabrics can bend, fold, and follow curves, keeping its state-of-the-art effectiveness in both soft armor and composite builds that can’t stay flat.

Tested to the Max

Kevlar® EXO™ fiber data is the starting point. The finished build—every layer, seam, and component—must still meet its ballistic, weight, and durability targets.

Defense

ARMOR SHOULD PASS TWO TESTS: STOP THREATS. BE COMFORTABLE.

In soft armor, Kevlar® EXO™ fiber is used to create flexible and durable fabrics to stop threats and still be comfortable to wear. In hard armor, Kevlar® EXO™ can be used to create lighter weight armor which stops the threat, provides multi hit protection and reduces trauma injuries.

CoreMatrix™ technology

FIBERS RUN THROUGH IT, NOT JUST ACROSS IT.

With Kevlar® EXO™, CoreMatrix™ uses needle punching to carry short fibers through stacked woven layers. Those through-thickness connections reduce complex stitching and build time while retaining flexibility.
