This 20 pound kayak is supposed to be the ultimate in watersports. It’s made of strong, lightweight Kevlar (the stuff they use in bulletproof vests) and carbon fiberglass. As you paddle, you’ll use little to no effort to propel yourself forward thanks to the 54 CX’s radical design. It comes with a radical price as well: $2500.
Dueling is a favorite pass time of mine but if you’re going to do it, you’ve got to be prepared. That’s why I wear one of these bulletproof handkerchiefs everywhere I go. Some mother fucker slaps me and challenges me to a duel, you bet your ass we’re meeting before sun down at the town square. Little does my opponent know that I’m equipped with the best booger protection in town.
Subtle and modest, it’ll also stop a bullet aimed at my heart. We’re talking military grade Kevlar, my friends. When it comes down to a life or death gun duel, you can’t settle for the cheap stuff.
What do Calvin Klein models wear on the battlefield? You think they’d be caught dead in the mandatory military wear? Ugh, as if! Camo is so last season. The Urban Security Suit, from Dutch designer Tim Smith, is a stylish upgrade to the classic camouflage look from yesteryear.
Complete with color coordinated gas mask, a stylish neoprene composition and lined with strategically placed body fit Kevlar, the Urban Security Suit is equal parts protection, ruggedness, and runway model. Sure, it’s not quite as inconspicuous as a full camouflage facade, but why hide when you look this good?
Police officers will be happy to see the creation of the Roboglove, a high tech glove that can detect whether an assailant is carrying a hidden weapon. With the point of a finger or the caress of a body (this is cops we’re talking about and not the porno industry, right?) the gloves can detect whether a subject has a gun, knife and other metal objects.
The Kevlar enforced glove, the same material body armor is produced with, vibrates to alert the officer if something is awry. Police in Merseyside in the UK are already testing out the Roboglove, which for $200 a piece, is supposed to work superior to handheld metal detectors. Expect to eventually see something like this in secure buildings and airports as well. — Andrew Dobrow
