Abstract
In the history of the costume, protective military clothing has a special place. The origins of military clothing go deep into history. Protective clothing defined as protective "cover" clothes is used to protect the body from physical attack. In the in many of the ancient civilization is noticed similarity in the appearance of military clothing, which means that Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek and Roman soldiers are dressed and armed in a similar way.

Highlights
In the past, various nations and cultures around the world used protective clothing made from natural raw materials
Worn in high-risk situations, the weight of the garment can reach and up to 48kg. It is insisted on reducing the weight of protective clothing, which would improve the mobility of soldiers, which is extremely important, especially for those involved in high-risk situations
In the contemporary protective vest, there are openings for inserting ballistic material that protects the body from bullet penetration
Summary
Various nations and cultures around the world used protective clothing made from natural raw materials. Patterns and camouflage colors of protective clothing have been constantly improved in order to achieve better technological and design results for the protection of the human body in various environments including jungles, pastures and deserts [3]. Innovations in materials and manufacturing technologies lead to the discovery of new textile materials (from nylon, glass, Kevlar and many other synthetic fibers) that provide protective clothing with a remarkable improvement in the level of protection, with significant weight loss a powerful combination to improve efficiency and the mobility of the military forces. With the use of new generations of synthetic fibers, the greatest achievements have been made in terms of the weight of protective clothing and, the level of protection. The goal is to design lighter protective clothing that will provide the required protection on the other hand, and still provide smooth movement [3, 4, 5]
