Howitzer

My motorcycle jacket has kevlar incorporated into it, to make it more resistant to tearing during crashes(I'd be sliding on the pavement though). I found out today how strong the kevlar really is. I was smoothing the outside of my jacket liner (I have a two-layer jacket), and notice that I was getting tiny black fibers embedded into my thumb. It actually hurt to pull one of them out. At least I haven't noticed fibers poking into my body from the inside of the jacket.
