“…Unfortunately, with current technology, manufacturing process of natural spider silk is low cost-effectiveness due to difficulty associated with fiber collection that yield a small-scale production. Nevertheless, it is more environmentally friendly to produce the spider silk than Kevlar which make pollution from its petrochemical processing [6]- [8].…”

A body armor is vital for users in combat filed. Normally, the body armor have two components: soft and hard ones. This paper proposes feasibility assessment technique to evaluate contemporary materials: Kevlar, natural spider silk, and human hair, for making soft component of the body armor. There are four criteria: technical, economic, legal, and operational feasibilities to generate the feasibility assessment matrix. The optimal material in question is human hair which has highest rank at 82%.
