For the same coverage area, dragon skin is lighter than Interceptor. Since Dragon Skin is flexible and offers far more torso and wraparound side and back coverage it is heavier. You can reduce the coverage area to achieve less weight than Interceptor for the same coverage.

This is another example of the Army’s dishonesty in the matter. See the Pinnacle Armor site for the specific weights and coverage area in the May Army test.
