“DRAGON SKIN”: DAMN TOUGH

sov-2-front.jpgIt may not be as sexy as liq­uid armor or soldier-​​sized scarab shells, but the “Dragon Skin” bul­let­proof vests sound damn tough.
According to Defense Review, the Skin is basi­cally your stan­dard body armor, laced with silver-​​dollar sized ceramic discs. These are con­fig­ured lover the vest ike scales (hence the “Dragon” sobri­quet). And they make the out­fits super light — but strong enough to stop armor-​​penetrating bullets.
