Design and construction of advanced model of protective clothes

The process of designing advanced protective clothes is a lengthy process that is based on research of the model improvement of the protective vests in R. Macedonia. In this paper the main characteristics of the fabric covering material are presented as well as the solution for the model design and construction elements for their final preparation. Based on analyses of the different possibilities for design of the advanced model, the functional model of protective vest is prepared which the soldier can rapidly and easily remove from his body. The designed model has possibilities for adding soft and hard protective material and it can provide higher level of ballistic protection. Also, the designed model has modern look in line with functionality and it can be adopted with an appropriate and required level of protection. This advanced model design will completely satisfy the needs of advanced soldiers. Key words: protective clothes, design, fabric, construction
