I've made so-called "oobleck" before, but that's not what brought the idea to mind. I was thinking of a suspension of say, diatomaceous earth,(fine) sand and maby mineral oil. There's even an article on"liquid" body armor here:

This article states that researchers are developing a treatment for kevlar that would utilize silica-based shear-thickening fluid. The treatment uses silica nanoparticles and ethanol to permeate the kevlar, giving it a 350% increase in high-velocity projectile resistance.
