A multilayered composite fabric which comprises (a) a first fabric comprising non-woven unidirectionally oriented fibers in a first resin matrix, the fibers comprising high tenacity fibers, the first fabric comprising first and second surfaces; and (b) a second fabric comprising multi-directionally oriented fibers optionally in a second resin matrix, the second fabric also comprising high tenacity fibers, the second fabric having first and second surfaces, the first surface of the second fabric being bonded to the second surface of the first fabric thereby forming the composite fabric. Also described is a method of making such fabric wherein the second fabric layer is used as a support during the manufacturing process and is thereafter consolidated into a single structure with the first fabric layer.
