## Abstract

The present invention relates to an antiballistic protection comprising a cover with a stab and bullet resistant layer, comprising a stab resistant layer and a bullet resistant layer, in which said antiballistic protection has a large flexibility. Preferably, said stab and bullet resistant layer comprises a stab resistant layer of polyamide and a bullet resistant layer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The invention also relates to a method for fabricating said antiballistic protection as well as the use of pieces of clothing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A antiballistic protection comprising a cover with a stab and bullet resistant layer, and in which said antiballistic protection comprises a central chest section and at least two wing sections, whereby said stab and bullet resistant layer is composed of a stab resistant layer of polyamide and a bullet resistant layer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene,
wherein said stab resistant layer is composed of a plurality of polyamide textile layers in which at least one polyamide textile layer has a surface weight lower than 200 g/m2, and in which said bullet resistant layer is composed of a plurality of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene laminates in which at least one polyethylene laminate has a surface weight lower than 100 g/m2.

### Claim 2

(canceled)

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 1, wherein said stab resistant layer comprises at most 15 polyamide textile layers in which at least one polyamide textile layer has a surface weight lower than 150 g/m2, and wherein said bullet resistant layer comprises at most 50 ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene laminates in which at least one polyethylene laminate has a surface weight lower than 90 g/m2.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 1, wherein said stab resistant layer and said bullet resistant layer are connected at the bottom of said central chest section.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 1, wherein said stab resistant layer and said bullet resistant layer are connected at the top of said central chest section.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 1, wherein said cover is a knitting.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 1, wherein said stab resistant layer and said bullet resistant layer (32) are provided as alternating stab resistant and bullet resistant layers.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 1, provided with a taser resistant protection.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 8, wherein said taser resistant protection is provided as a cover, and said cover is provided with a first, conductive side with taser resistant characteristics and a second, non-conductive side without taser resistant characteristics.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 9, wherein said conductive side with taser resistant characteristics is provided as a textile layer with a waterproof polymer coating comprising a conductive filling agent.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 10, wherein said conductive filling agent is composed of carbon and said conductive filling agent is provided in an amount of 5 to 20% in weight.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 1, wherein said stab and bullet resistant layer is provided with a neckline and at least two recesses provided along the circumference of said stab and bullet resistant layer.

### Claim 13

A method for fabricating an antiballistic protection, comprising the following steps:
providing a stab resistant layer composed of a plurality of polyamide textile layers in which at least one polyamide textile layer has a surface weight lower than 200 g/m2 and a bullet resistant layer composed of a plurality of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene laminates in which at least one polyethylene laminate has a surface weight lower than 100 g/m2, said stab resistant layer and said bullet resistant layer having a central chest section and at least two wing sections;
connecting said stab resistant layer and said bullet resistant layer least one contact point at the bottom of said central chest section and at one or more contact points at the top of said central chest section, as a result of which a stab and bullet resistant layer is obtained; and
enclosing said stab and bullet resistant layer in a cover.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method according to claim 13, comprising the step of attaching two or more ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene layers into an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene laminate.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

A kit comprising one or more antiballistic protections according to claim 1 and a piece of clothing with one or more wearing planes for wearing said one or more antiballistic protections.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 10, wherein the conductive filling agent is a carbon-containing conductive filling agent.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

The antiballistic protection according to claim 10, wherein the conductive filling agent is carbon.
