The world's toughest fabric on cuts, tears and punctures. Made by Warwick Mills, Inc. who patented this lightweight, waterproof, comfortable fabric (patent 5565264 & 5837623 and patent pending).
Professionals at the Kentucky Reptile Zoo have tested them with their collection.
Warwick also tested simulated snake strikes using 0.05" diameter needles at 2.63 joules successfully with no penetration, and a 0.042 needle at 2.37 pounds, which had a penetration limit of .03". So, though it is
not penetration proof, it gives very good protection with comfortable wearable fabric less than three sheets of paper thick.
Aramid sleeve repels punctures in the forearm. The hand is exposed. This is usually sold to policeman to keep them from being punctured while deflecting knives or other sharp objects. Aramid fiber is only available in black.
A note about TurtleSkin SnakeArmor®. It is not completely snakebite proof, so care and diligence should still be taken when using this or any animal handling equipment.
