i worked on a kill floor for 20 years (meat packing )and we had chain mesh gloves to wear for years then they came up with "cut resistant" gloves .if you were a good knives person and could keep a sharp knife you would go through that glove no problem and end up with stitches .been there done that .so a shark bite with a large bite force and very sharp razor teeth are no match for a fabric material unless it is very thick Kevlar type and even then that will only hold out for so long .but great news that they are trying to come up with new innovations

I imagine that even if this fabric successfully protects against lacerations, the bite force of a white shark could still produce significant crush damage to the underlying tissues.
Who wants to be first to test one???? Anyone Buller, Buller
