That’s right, Troy Hurtubise has built the world’s first Halo-inspired military suit. It’s “crafted from high-impact plastic lined with ceramic bullet protection over ballistic foam, and features nearly endless compartments, morphine / salt containers, knife and gun holsters, emergency lights, a built-in recording device, pepper spray, ingestible transponder for those last resort scenarios, and there’s even a fresh air system powered by solar panels within the helmet.” One more picture after the jump.
Mr. Hurtubise claims the 18 kilograms (40 pounds) suit is comfortable enough to make road trips in (yes, he tried it), and if any major military would take him up on it, they could reportedly be produced for “around $2,000 apiece.”
