A puncture resistant garment (20) includes a plurality of flexible layers of woven sheets (22) positioned to overlie one another forming a puncture resistant panel (28), in which each of the sheets (22) is constructed of aramid fiber (24) and in which the sheets (22) have a weave of at least 60 aramid fibers per inch in two transverse directions. The aramid fiber (24) has at least one of the following characteristics: a) the aramid fibers are constructed of filaments which provide from 50,000,000 up to 90,000,000 filaments crossovers per square inch in each of the sheets (22); b) the aramid fibers provide greater than 3 per cent break elongation; and c) the aramid fiber provides greater than 23.8 grams per denier tenacity as well as securement for the sheets (22) together to form the puncture resistant panel (28) which prevents puncture penetration from a sharp object (76) through the panel (20).
