Light weight bullet proof vest?

Light weight bullet proof vest? I'm always amazed at how people with different perspectives look at a new technology. That never occurred to me.

The vest was my first thought. But also the opposite -- some science fiction discusses a weapon created through a mono-molecular sword. It's basically a strong, impossibly thin weapon which simply slices through anything at all.
As a sheet, this stuff could stop any bullet.
As a string, it could cut a steel girder (perhaps).
