You don't want to do this, advances in fabric technology mean that we can make really good flexible outfits, a Power Rangers suit or a ninja suit where you climb in one of the eyes would make you immune to the chinks in armor rule.

Keep in mind that the $60K figure represents a low ball as it only accounts for labor, retail figure at least $100K, minimum, so even a billion dollars only buys 10,000 sets, and to get the most out of something like this you'd need a version that provides force field DR issued to every trooper (metal shard that does only a single point of damage to your eye is enough to down check, if not kill, a soldier)

For protection for VIPs or special ops this seems useful.

Um, what?
