Anyone ever heard of this suit?

If it works and I had that job, I would wear it no matter how it looks. If it doesn't work, well that is a different matter all together.

Not as goofy as the hook, glass eye, and blasted face will look.
If it looks stupid, but it works, it wasn't really stupid.

If it works, I'd use it.
Key would be testing it out prior to being in a combat zone.
Take it to the range...
Can you effectively engage targets while wearing it?
Can you correct a malfunction?
Can you climb into the vehicle to protect yourself during a roll over?
Can you reload while wearing it?

The suit must work, the troops are bitchin'. My luck I'd spring a leak and lose the water.

...just above the belt buckle. :D
Lets not overlook the obvious - just because the media says troops say something don't mean its so.
Funny how this reporter can name those who quote everything but the article title.
Suit is a modified version of a MedEng suit - or so it would appear
After experiencing several "near" misses...
"I'll try out any thing that would protect my ass!":cool:
Don't even get me started on reporters...
Take care.
