LONDON (UPI) -- A British protective clothing company has taken its
market to young people on the streets with a new Kevlar-lined hoodie.
The hoodie, which is marketed by Bladerunner as stab-proof, is lined
with the ultra-strong Kevlar, which is the material used in the body
armor for Britain's troops, The Sky News reported Monday.
Bladerunner is selling the protective hoodies for $130 each.
The head of the company, Adrian Davis, also has claimed to be in
discussion with schools about putting Kevlar linings into school
uniforms
"It's all in development but we're at an advanced stage," he said.
"We've sent examples of school jumpers to the manufacturers and we're
waiting for the costings. I really believe it's needed."
Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that is very light but can be spun into
sheets that are stronger than steel.
