Ballistic resistant fabric laminates are provided. More particularly,
reinforced, delamination resistant, ballistic resistant composites are
provided. The delamination resistant, ballistic resistant materials and
articles may be reinforced by various techniques, including stitching one
or more ballistic resistant panels with a high strength thread, melting
the edges of a ballistic resistant panel to reinforce areas that may have
been frayed during standard trimming procedures, wrapping one or more
panels with one or more woven or non-woven fibrous wraps, and
combinations of these techniques. The delamination resistant, ballistic
resistant panels may further include at least one rigid plate attached
thereto for improving ballistic resistance performance.
