Apr 28 2008The Urban Security Suit Protects, Looks Good
The Urban Security Suit is the brainchild of Dutch designer Tim Smit. It's a jacket/hoodie made out of neoprene with body molded kevlar added in all the right places. As an added bonus it's got a gas mask pocket and is white with gray accents. No word on if they'll really be made or if Tim is just waving his dong in the wind, but either way, I want one. I already have a gas mask though, so I don't want to pay extra for that. I like the look, I think it makes you look like some sort of modern ninja. And, as someone who was born with a ninjato sword for one arm and a grappling hook (sorry, mom) for the other, I think I'd know. Not only that, but I've since had my eyes replaced with throwing stars. So yeah, I'm pretty much a ninja authority and all around bad-ass mother (literally, I left my kid at Arby's once). Did I mention I've beat every Ninja Gaiden game ever made? Because I have.
Several more pictures of the suit after the jump.

On a chick: Awesome.
On a guy: Homosexual.

Oh shit, it's all the same guy. Yea, he's gay.
It'd still look good on a chick though...

I think it lacks of pockets... like a pocket belt, (as batman or x-mens pocket-belt style) if you're in disaster, pockets help you have free hands and carry a lot ;)

I think it looks hot on him!

I always wondered what Annie would look like when she was grown. Thanks to the pictures, now I know. Annie wearing Kevlar, well, it must really be a hard-knock life... (tum tuddu dum dum, dumdum...)

The best clothes come from gay designers so the Dutch Tim Smit is most certainly gay as that is the most beautiful clothing I have ever seen. Might as well start referring to him as "the gay Tim Smit".

Wow, now anarchist can look awesome and be well protected from riot police.
WANT.

FAKE!!!

It reminds me of the Halloween that I dressed up as Mantis. Nobody had any idea who I was supposed to be.
12. buttfuckerjim - April 28, 2008 7:03 PM
looks like tali from mass effect
13. Peanut Colada - April 28, 2008 7:25 PM
Looks a tad awesome.
Needs a pocket cup though.
Grappling hook, classic.

You know...they should really bring back the "crow" mask from the plague times. Freaky+Cool=Freakily Cool...*pew, pew*

Firfteenth!

@ #6. Ok.
Tim Smit is Gaaayyy!!
17. buzz_clik - April 28, 2008 9:27 PM
Yeah, it's P. Mantis meets that new Prototype thang. Hoodies are the new dead horse. Get a-floggin', everyone!
#11 - I am going deeper into your mind... into your soul. You like Castlevania, don't you?

Now if only they can make it so that it blocks that new microwave anti-riot device. The device that can make an entire crowd feel like they're on fire.
19. Samantha - April 28, 2008 11:56 PM
Sexy

#14, hell yeah! That would totally make the outfit.
I often think that new modern designs like this type of thing are absolutely gay, but I find myself really liking this one.
21. hahayousuck - April 29, 2008 2:55 AM
oooooh i want! it would be a sweet industrial dance outfit. hehehe
22. Jason - April 29, 2008 3:36 AM
i want it
23. Super Duper! - April 29, 2008 8:10 AM
Ewww. Ranga! But awesome jacket. I'd totally wear one, but I'm not the fighting type (more the run and cry type) and this would likely get you beat up by lads (chavs if you're english)
24. poop - April 29, 2008 8:52 AM
the dutch need to lay down the bong, get off the mcdonalds, put down the cheesy fries, let go of the sausage and peppers wrap, get up off the sofa and get jobs that pay for their filthy nasty lives. the rest of the world is officially tired of doing all the work while you lay around and get fat. ..and give me back the peanut butter jar! JEECE!!
when you're stoned all the time like these weenies, things like this seem like good ideas. this, my friends, is no rattlesnake hide leather jacket. ...rattlesnake hide leather jackets are be teh DA BOMBz!! yo!!

Neoprene with Kevlar? That fucker would be hot as hell.
I would think in Europe you are more likely to get stabbed than shot, an kevlar does fuck-all for stopping shanks and such.
Might as well just buy a good motorcycle jacket with padding and kevlar inserts to protect against blunt trauma. Plus, then no one would know you have the build of a thirteen year old girl.

@10: As much as I can appreciate your much needed point I just think it's wasted on most as they just don't have the mental capacity to get it let alone make any sort of connection.
And with that run on sentence I bid you all Fuc% off!
Well, not all of you, just a select group who probably have no idea who they are. By the way, what's with the rubber suit?
27. Manda - April 29, 2008 10:33 AM
I want like five! When zombies attack it will be the thing to wear. This chain mail I have now is not nearly as cool and does not come standard with a gas mask.
28. Sophie - April 29, 2008 10:46 AM
So is that a guy or a girl?
29. che-che - April 29, 2008 6:12 PM
the one thing they didnt tell you is that, you have to cut off your penis to wear this.
(still hasnt been answered is that a chick or a girl)
30. groonk - April 30, 2008 1:26 AM
wow, i'd be ready to patrol the streets avenging my supermodel girlfriend's horrific murder every night while wearing that.
of course, my jeans wouldn't be ripped near sensitive areas like that douche model there.
31. v - April 30, 2008 2:17 PM
It looks like a very, very slender man.
If he had breasts, he'd be a cute girl.
I could be wrong... What's bad is that I'm androgynous, too, but this just jams my gaydar x10.
Also: I hope they make these fuckers in better colors. I fucking want one.
Ohshiiiit.
32. v - April 30, 2008 2:20 PM
Forgot to add: Think this is a guy. If it's a girl, not only does she have a flat chest, but she also has small, boyish hips. Also, the ring... That's a thick ring. Women don't usually have thick rings like that.
@24: tl;dr. Know when to stfu.

Things this jacket will not do:
-protect you from any sort of impact trauma (such as rubber bullets, bean bag rounds, or actual bullets---> it will stop them from going into your body, but they will still hit you with enough force to break bones).
-protect against anything larger than MAYBE a .44 magnum round. It's just kevlar, so all you'd need to defeat it is a 5.56mm or a 7.62 mm rifle round.
And no, Kevlar will not protect against those rifle rounds in this configuration. Kevlar only protects against rifle rounds when used in conjunction with steel or ceramic armor inserts.
Discount this stupid hoodie, which will most likely cost a thousand bucks, and instead spend that money on some Level IV inserts.

I think the form fitting design of the whole thing is quite nice. I'd really like it if all of my hoodies would fit that closely. Instead, there's this queer baggy thing around my waist. Producers should take note of this kind of stuff.
Oh, and this would be absolutely FLAWLESS for a parkour traceur. The whole look would be absolutely astounding in conjunction with the activities.
