(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a protective device that is lightweight, yet has excellent strength, creep resistance, weather resistance, abrasion resistance, and cut resistance, while maintaining appropriate flexibility. [Structure] A protective device mainly composed of a knitted fabric composed of a molecular orientation molded product of an ultrahigh molecular weight ethylene polymer having an intrinsic viscosity [η] of at least 5 dl / g. According to the present invention, by using the specific knitted fabric or the laminate mainly composed of the layer structure of the knitted fabric and the non-woven fabric, while being lightweight, it is excellent in cut resistance and has an appropriate cut resistance. An armor that retains flexibility is provided. This protective equipment is It can protect a human body from injury, and is particularly preferably used as a protective tool for arm covers or foot covers for forestry workers who operate large and highly dangerous blades such as chainsaws. |
