    Abstract: A composite fabric having inner and outer layers and a middle layer therebetween is disclosed. The inner and outer layers may be the same or different and each layer is made up of a plurality of sub-layers. The individual sub-layers are resin bonded substantially unidirectional anti-ballistic non-woven fibers. The same or a different number of sub-layers may be used as the inner and outer layers, respectively. The middle layer is made up of a plurality of woven fabric sub-layers. Each sub-layer is a woven fabric, comprising anti-ballistic fibers or yarns, which has been calendared to an extent sufficient to flatten the sub-layer fabric and to spread the fibers of the woven yarns into the void spaces created by the weaving.
