Will you be carrying Dyneema any time soon?

What about for a semi-rigid material with high shape memory? Could this be done if bonding the layers with a flexible adhesive like E6000. For context I've been studying linothorax. And one question I have is what would be the modern equivalent (as in using a laminated construction but wit modern materials)? So I am searching for material and adhesive modern analogs to animal (rabbit) glue and linen (flax fiber).

From what you've described so far this seems like it posses most of the same qualities as linen, just more so than linen. Two qualities of linen I wondering if this also posses are: That linen strengthens when wet; And linen doesn't soil or take to dying easily.

* DONT CUT CF like shown without the necessary precautions... Not basic PPE like gloves/glasses, but precautions like dust control and respiratory considerations.
*This stuff is bad news if dust/particulates become airborne... Where possible, machine material in a ‘wet bath’ or at very least, in a ventilated/filtered, enclosed work space such as a re-purposed sandblasting cabinet.
*The fibres will irritate the skin/lungs/eyes A LOT! The fume from the epoxy resin (if cut with dry/hot tooling such as the dye grinder shown can be toxic. Any frayed edges can be particularly sharp and penetrate the skin quite easily, leaving CF splinters under the skin. And the dust will infest the surrounding environment, future disturbances in the environment will release this toxic and irritating dust/particulate again.

*worse irritant than FG in most cases.
