I'm wondering about vests like the US Armor from the Enforcer line, like whatever the CBP is using. I don't know whether new agents in 2014 got issued a Enforcer 6000/Enforcer 5000/Enforcer XP or something else.

What materials in the real-world are Ballistic Polymer and Improved Ballistic Polymer, respectively? Spectra Shield and Dyneema fall under Ballistic Polymer, but I don't know about others.

What real-world materials are Improved Kevlar?
To give me a starting point for statting real-world armour with the Cutting Edge Armor rules, what are some of the most advanced concealable vests or other armour in existence right now?

And how heavy are they and what kind of threats are they rated for?

Does Improved Ballistic Polymer (TL8) exist right now or is it meant to represent late-TL8 improvements that are not commercially available as of now?
