If it’s stronger and lighter than the IBA, I’m all for it, but if it’s heavier, that’s really going to open up a debate of “Life Saving Ability” vs “How fast can I move, how much can I carry?” that I’d rather just avoid.

Carbon is much lighter than Kevlar. i.e Kevlar is poly para-phenyleneterephthalamide, carbon is just C.
