You know I grew up 30 miles from Canada and it was always an easy target but damn if this guy may not be onto something.
It would be fitting if some guy spent 20 grand and devloped the prototype that led to a new way of fighting.
The 3% pepper spray sounds interesting.

The fundamental idea might be ok but someone with real money needs to take his idea and seriously tweak it.

If it does work it will make real contractors look like thieves for building something that took under 20 grand to build imagine what something like this would cost under one of the military companies probably more like $200,000.
His way it just might see the light of day but not from a giant military machine company not cost effective.

Its a start of improving technology, but I dont think that this product will actually be commonly used.

There are only two choises for full spectrum warrior:
1. Mobility
or
2. Protection

Someone who can succesfully join both choises together - is a winner!

-there is no cooling system for the suit itself
-powerpacks could "malfunction" due to being exposed directly to the sun (+black suit)
-very obstructed vision
-lack of places where you can store ammunition and stuff

The cooling is certainly problematic.
The power packs don't look like they would last even a full day in the field.
The lack of peripheral vision would have to be solved with new optics as the helmet dramatically narrows the outlook.
Ammo and other gear would be carried on a web system similiar to what we have now only attached to the suit plates.
