Zylon Vest

Overview
"Zylon, a thermoset synthetic polymer, is used in products that require high strength and good thermal stability. With that said, Zylon Meshes were proven to be somewhat unreliable due to the material's eventual degradation from age. Engineers remedied this by removing the sections of Zylon that were most exposed to wear and tear and replacing them with a specialized weave of Twaron, Dyneema, and several other ballistic UHMW polyethylene fabrics. More recently, the engineers also began adding Nomex fiber into the Zylon vests, in order to make them more flame-resistant for survivors who should ever find themselves aflame."
