<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Women’s participation in the activities, which were limited only for men in the past, has increased over the years. Since women are not in the majority, the protective equipment they wear has not been developed for their use.In our project, we are intending to identify the available materials and technologies to produce new composite materials for ergonomic ballistic protection equipment for women from national defense system, in the respect of providing better fit and mobility to the wearer. The main goal of the project is to apply a design and materials that offers more comfort to the wearers (female soldiers) using the best available technologies and materials.This paper presents the methods and the criteria to select the best materials suitable for achieving a new ballistic protection vest designed especially for women from national defense system, in order to meet the requirements regarding the protection against ballistic threats and the comfort demands too.</abstract>
