There are actually multiple people who warrant credit for the invention of the Kevlar bulletproof vest. The DuPont corporation developed Kevlar material. Richard Armellino marketed a Kevlar vest called the K-15 in 1975 and Richard Davis the first all Kevlar vest in 1976.

What is a bulletproof jacket made of?
A bullet proof jacket is made from several thin layers of a material known as kevlar ( Kevlar is a registered trade mark). Kevlar is a para-aramid synthetic fibre. Some vests also allow for metal plates to be inserted. While kevlar is light-weight, inserted metal plates make the vest heavier. Though if the vest stops a bullet, I doubt the wearer would mind how heavy the vest was.
