Kevlar works in two primary ways: It has strong long-strand fibers which attempt to spread out the impact forces, and it entangles bullets with it's structure due to the bullet spinning, which causes the bullet to tear off a wad of the Kevlar as it impacts, eating up the bullet's energy.
Arrows tend to go through it because they often slip between the weave, rather than interacting with it.
Whatever the Ballistic Armor of SR4 is, it ain't Kevlar.

I assume it's closer to a flexible polymer armour. That seems to make the most sense to me.
