A new "revolutionary" fiberglass vest is hitting the market, so i hear.

Anyone heard of it here?
It's fibreglass as opposed to kevlar, way more expensive...

Apparently approved by US Justice dept.
Any info on this an be pm'ed to me if you feel it's sensitive. All input will be appreciated.

Two things;

US DOJ is a “civilian” law enforcement agency, if they approve some body armor it by no means has the seal of approval from the US DOD. If DOJ approved the armor I’d venture to say the armor is “contractor grade” which in the US means it meets the “bare minimum.”

2nd, While fiberglass may be new to you, type “liquid Armor” into a Google search… Now that’s new…
