I'm seriously feeling the need to spend tomorrow working on personal protective armor but I've gotta fix my Car. :/

Something with a full face, sealed motorcycle helmet with a full respirator that can handle Tear Gas. Maybe even a backup High pressure air tank as a bootleg SCBA.

And some ballistic plates. That idea for the Raidertech Iron Man suit I've been kicking around for a Convention costume is looking more and more Practical.

@Motodrachen you got contacts in the SCA? because 3/16 polypropylene makes good street-grade trauma plates, and a brigandine of the stuff with added organ-plates will turn pretty much any blade and disperse blunt force well. it's also light, low-profile, and quieter than steel.

@Motodrachen I feel like ABS is too brittle-hard; PP I know is used commonly for SCA armor. it's a lot more bouncy than ABS
