1. A cut and puncture resistant composite material comprising;
at least one elastic layer,
at least two protective elements each having a smaller surface area than the surface area of said elastic layer,
at least one attachment between each said protective element and said elastic layer, wherein the surface area of each attachment is substantially smaller than the total surface area of each protective element; and
wherein an attachment area between each said protective element and said elastic layer is at least 1/12 of the perimeter length of each protective element and the attachment area between each said protective element and said elastic layer is less than 50% of the total area of each said protective element,
wherein each attachment substantially restricts the misalignment of each protective element relative to the elastic layer while maintaining substantial elasticity.
