The hoodie, which is marketed by Bladerunner as stab-proof, is lined with the ultra-strong Kevlar, which is the material used in the body armor for Britain's troops, The Sky News reported Monday. Advertisement Bladerunner is selling the protective hoodies for $130 each. The head of the company, Adrian Davis, also has claimed to be in discussion with schools about putting Kevlar linings into school uniforms "It's all in development but we're at an advanced stage," he said. "We've sent examples of school jumpers to the manufacturers and we're waiting for the costings. I really believe it's needed." Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that is very light but can be spun into sheets that are stronger than steel.
