Kevlar is not as strong when loaded in compression. It is mostly used for
impact resistance rather than structural applications. Replacing fibreglass
or carbon fiber with Kevlar is not a trivial excercise and requires
appropriate design considerations, especially in heavily loaded
applications.

Hope that helps.
