I wonder. Did anyone tell him what kind of protection "Trojan" means in this country?

[BigBlueJon]

It's already been done!

Hes Crackers, although I must admit the suit looks friggin awesome! His latest invention Blast Bags were being looked at by the canadian army but not sure anything came of it.

Hes a highly devouted man due to the fact his bro is serving in the army so I wouldnt once question his dedication.

Sort of puts one in mind of the delimma of the knights in full armor during the Crusades in the Middle East. THe Saracens' Damascened chain link was reputedly better and cooler.

The Crusaders wore maille as well, but more of it. Full plate was a later era. However, it's the padded gambeson undergarment beneath the maille that is the heat retention killer.

I would wonder how much that helmet cuts down sensory input. How's the vision and hearing in that?

I hope it's not the kind you have to wind up every morning ;-)
