protective cloth

About 6 months ago I read of a new cloth-type material that was very flexible in normal use but if it "felt" severe impact pressure it would almost instantly become rigid and absorb the impact.

I am trying to design some athletic clothing that would be light weight, comfortable, and flexible for the user (think of a pair of soccer shorts or a jersey), but if it "senses" an impact it will momentarily become rigid and absorb the impact of someone kicking them.

Has anyone heard of this material/textile before?

thanks, Ron
