Which line of Kevlar is polyethelene laminate?
My google-Fu has failed me, and they don't make it easy to discern on their website. Which currently marketed Kevlar products are 100% p-aramids and which are polyethelene laminates? I'm wary of the 50/50 hybrids, even though the DBT offerings have passed with excellent results.
Thanks for your expertise!

Goldflex is a Kevlar laminate. Kevlar XP is also similar to a laminate. Kelvar 129 and Kevlar KM2, and Kevlar XLT are all woven p-aramids, as is Twaron.

Is Kevlar XP similar enough to a laminate to share their flaws? I know you're a fan of the DBT RVA3A, but is that vest's success a function of the XLT shielding the XP layers from the contact shot heat, or the XP performing better than a more conventional laminate? It may be indistinguishable, but worth asking.
Thanks for your time, Doc. Always deeply appreciated.
