The present invention relates to a structure for producing ballistic protection which combines high levels of performance in terms of stopping bullets and reducing trauma with great flexibility and breathability. A ballistic laminate comprising joined together unidirectional layers is produced. The ballistic laminate provided by the present invention is preferably produced by superposing at least two layers of ballistic yarns 101 and 103, arranged unidirectionally according to directions inclined relative to one another by approximately 90° (+/−10°). Each layer comprises a plurality of fibres arranged unidirectionally according to a substantially mutually parallel direction (+/−10°).
