No so with Spectra and Kevlar/Spectra blends, right?? Layering, denser threads, and closer weaving are major factors now being addressed.....

To put it another way, even if a soft vest could stop a rifle bullet from penetrating (which I do not believe possible), the wearer would likely die anyway from blunt force trauma.
