Armoured suits are ‘too goofy’ say US troops
American troops have complained that a new armoured body suit designed to be worn in Iraq makes them look “goofy”. The water-cooled “alien spacesuits” are being handed out to turret gunners in their notoriously vulnerable Humvee vehicles.
Great find Shawn!

ooooh, sorry Ken, but according to the US Army’s Declaration of Servitude:
“Article 5.1.6-b Subparagraph C9532. Due to a lack of personelle and in order to successfully launch Freedom Liberation Campaigns in all known countries of the world, any person commenting on, discussing, deliberating, contradicting, contemplating or subliminally considering the United States Army, in any way, is hereby enrolled in its ranks, without pay or chance of survival, regardless of Nationality, Race, Gender or Milkshake Preference.”
It’s a tough world, but at least we’ll fit in at the Beekeepers Convention with our new suits!

I think theres a lot more there than just plain kevlar… that suit can withstand bombblasts!!! thats pretty impressive
although the suit may fare well, i wonder what your insides feel like when the shrapnel hits it… hmmm….
good thing i can keep that to just a wonder and never have to find out 😉

Kevlar vests are hot and bulky. No way would I ever go into a potential shooting sitch without one. In fact, I’d want head to toe kevlar for that sort of crap.
