@sim Well, the looks are a side thing, I was going for something that offered the most protection possible without going into power armor territoty. The most exposed areas in a firefight as long as you try to stay in cover are head, shoulders, chest, and part of the arm and leg, so those need heavier protection. It's pointless to try to build something to stand high powered rifles and the like as even if it didn't pierce the armor, the impact would still break your bones. The rest of the armor is more than enough to stop knives, clubs, axes and small arms fire, which is what you'd face if fighting a criminal. It's what I'd equip a crime-fighting force with, and want to build for myself eventually.
