A process of manufacturing an impact resistant textile-supported garment, or a component thereof, wherein the process comprises the following steps: (i) providing a heat-curable composition suitable for forming a polyurethane; (ii) providing a mold comprising two opposing surfaces, wherein the mold comprises at least one mold cavity with a depth of at least 3 mm in at least one of the two opposing surfaces; (iii) introducing the heat-curable composition into the at least two non-interconnected mold cavity; characterized by (iv) applying a vacuum to an interior of the mold such that the interior of the mold is substantially free of air; (v) heating the heat-curable composition within the mold such that the composition cures to an extent of from 60% to 95%, in relation to the fully cured composition, so as to form a partially cured composition; (vi) applying a fabric to the partially cured composition; (vii) pressing the fabric and partially cured composition together such that the partially cured composition joins to the fabric; and (viii) allowing the partially cured composition to fully cure and form a fully cured polyurethane composition with the fabric joined thereto, thereby forming the impact resistant textile-supported garment, or component thereof, wherein the impact resistant textile-supported garment, or component thereof, comprises at least one impact resistant segment with a depth of at least 3 mm upon a surface of the fabric; optionally, wherein the mold comprises at least two non-interconnected mold cavities with a depth of at least 3 mm in at least one of the two opposing surfaces, wherein the at least two non-interconnected mold cavities define separate segments in at least one of the two opposing surfaces, and wherein the impact resistant textile-supported garment comprises at least two non-interconnected impact resistant segments with a depth of at least 3 mm upon a surface of the fabric. (i) providing a heat-curable composition suitable for forming a polyurethane; (ii) providing a mold comprising two opposing surfaces, wherein the mold comprises at least one mold cavity with a depth of at least 3 mm in at least one of the two opposing surfaces; (iii) introducing the heat-curable composition into the at least two non-interconnected mold cavity; characterized by (iv) applying a vacuum to an interior of the mold such that the interior of the mold is substantially free of air; (v) heating the heat-curable composition within the mold such that the composition cures to an extent of from 60% to 95%, in relation to the fully cured composition, so as to form a partially cured composition; (vi) applying a fabric to the partially cured composition; (vii) pressing the fabric and partially cured composition together such that the partially cured composition joins to the fabric; and (viii) allowing the partially cured composition to fully cure and form a fully cured polyurethane composition with the fabric joined thereto, thereby forming the impact resistant textile-supported garment, or component thereof, wherein the impact resistant textile-supported garment, or component thereof, comprises at least one impact resistant segment with a depth of at least 3 mm upon a surface of the fabric; optionally, wherein the mold comprises at least two non-interconnected mold cavities with a depth of at least 3 mm in at least one of the two opposing surfaces, wherein the at least two non-interconnected mold cavities define separate segments in at least one of the two opposing surfaces, and wherein the impact resistant textile-supported garment comprises at least two non-interconnected impact resistant segments with a depth of at least 3 mm upon a surface of the fabric. <EOS>
