My personal one is white with a "stab plate" and should be worn underneath clothes, it is too hot to wear in FL .
So I never wear it, bad me I know!

Jeez Al, an explosive disposal suit is a bit outre, don't you think?

See http://www.pointblankarmor.com/products/military_main.asp for all your shrapnel-proofing (and some bullet-proofing) needs.

And for a non-USAian look (1.4Mb jpg):

The image caption on the website says US Army, but that doesn't look like American pattern gear to me. Anyone want to take a guess who these guys are?

My personal favorite (though perhaps not the most practical) modern armor:

hong, you amuse me greatly. But it's gonna be tough for me to do character portraits of those PCs.


The following page was extremely helpful in visualizing what FEMALE adventurers might actually wear in combat.

These women are powerful and beautiful and well protected, and if more fantasy artists thought about things like this, there would be less need for pictures of women with their nipples and bellybuttons waiting to get sliced off.

You wanna paint nekked wimmen, fine.
You wanna paint adventurers, then give this some thought.

Wow, that first armor site's great... particularly the close up of the gauntlets and the "black and white" armor. Terrific.
