RE: slash and stab resistant clothing
well im planning on treating the kevlar with a shear thickening fluid which will make it stab resistant as well, im doing some research into body armour, and i found this military liquid armor project and ive been looking into it and finding sysnthesis methods for it and all sorts so i want to run my own tests and such like and if i can make it work then ill have a nice one of a kind stab and slash resistant hoody or shirt Big Grin

and yes i know rural crime not so much but i do want to travel the world and see places and live in cities so such clothing would be useful if someone tried to mug me Tongue not to mention the fact that when getting in a scuffle when someone has a knife its a big advantage to have something slash resistant, because even a good fighter may still get clipped by a blade whilst fending off the attack, so as much as i agree with binary on the offence rather than defence i think that having an item such as this would be very useful and prevent any nasty accidents Smile

and post SHTF it can be very useful, not to mention the fact that when scrabbling through dense vegetation you can get prickled or cut by plants, so even in a wilderness this sort of futuristic material is useful! and imagine if you got attacked by a wolf xD if wearing normal clothes you'd get really cut up, but with this you can stay stronger for longer giving you a much better chance of survival.

so yes this is mostly for an urban enviroment, but it does have its strengths in the wilds!
i apoligise for how horribly american this is, but it does show the strength of reinforcing kevlar with a sheer thickening fluid!
