HERE'S some real armored gear!

[SIZE=18pt]CHAIN MAIL BABY![/SIZE]

And it weighs a mere 20 pounds!

In case you're a little rusty about how to put on chain mail, the web site has some helpful instructions:

In case you weren't aware, chain mail does not stretch. You cannot put it on one arm at a time like a fabric shirt. Instead lay the chain mail flat on the ground, bend over and thrust both arms into the bottom of the shirt. Work your hands through to the end of the sleeves and then begin to stand-up. Get your head through the neck hole and let the chain mail slide down your body. If you have long hair, make sure to tie up your hair before you wear the chain mail. Otherwise it could get tangled in your hair. You might feel a bit claustrophobic when first wearing the chain mail... but don't worry you won't get stuck. PLEASE wear a shirt or some other garment underneath the chain mail. The edges of the rings where they are joined together are a bit rough and can scratch you.
I wonder how you wash it? :rolleyes:

It might work better if you're swimming amongst some Great Whites than it would if you fell off your bike. I image that chain mail might rash you worse than the pavement!

 
now send this post to 7 of your friends and tell them to send it to 7 of their friends and so on.

Remember, don't break the chain or you'll be forever cursed

I wonder how you get it off! :unsure:

 
Don't get too close to the junkyard magnet when they're scrapping cars with that on.

Think you'd get through airport security?

 
It's a misconception that these are hard to get on and off. All you need to do is locate the end, you will find that it is one big zip.

Conception? Hard? On/off? Locate the end?

I'm not touching this one. :unsure:
