Kevlar is a tough, synthetic fabric that comes under the class of aramid fibre. It was originally produced at DuPont group of companies by two scientists, Herbert Blades and Stephanie Kwolek, though the latter is most commonly credited with it.

This para-aramid has great tensile strength due to the numerous inter-chain bonds in its structure and the way the fibers are closely knitted together. Kevlar is light weight but strong and has high cut and abrasion resistance. Since its introduction in the synthetic fibers industry, Kevlar has become a popular fabric and today it accounts for a large percentage of the para-aramid market, worldwide.  
Initially, Kevlar was used in bullet proof vests and aircraft bodies but it has found its way into the protective apparel industry fast. It is used in things like sporting jackets, backpackers’ apparel and riding gear such as motorcycle pants.
