Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, is the leading ballistic material inside body armor that enables performance and protection through a patented and backwards-integrated manufacturing process. With one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material on Earth, Dyneema® has been trusted for more than 30 years in countless end-use applications and industries where performance is critical.  

15x stronger than steel — the inherent strength of Dyneema® means that the same levels of ballistic protection can be met using less material. Its lightweight strength provides countless benefits to the end user, from comfort to long-term wearability, without compromising on protection.   

Produced from start to finish in Greenville, North Carolina, Dyneema® employs 400 in its manufacturing facility in the US.
