<p>A protective covering system (1) having high-flexibility and low areal density characteristics. In one aspect of the invention, the protective system (1) includes a plurality of metallic staples (2) or wire elements secured to multi-layer matrix (1) including woven fibers, the layers (1a, 1b, 1c) being oriented at cross angles to provide a grid-like pattern of protective elements (2). In one aspect of the invention, protective elements (2) provide a coverage area of less than 90% and as little as 40% of total surface area. In one aspect of the invention, protective elements (2) may be mechanically secured to a matrix (1) by a puncture and crimp process. In another, wire elements may be attached or woven into one or more matrix layers.</p> |
