Looks really cool. But it will never, ever see mass production for today's soldiers. My reasons for this are as follows.

A. Where the hell do I put my gear? My rucksack, my canteens? My half-tent, sleeping roll, e-tool, AMMUNITION? (this alone weighs a shit-ton.)
B. Helmet is entirely too restrictive. You need a wide perephrial for night ops. That thing doesnt allow it.
C. Sticks out like a sore thumb, it would be the absolute first thing enemies target (after mass-casualty producing weapons. I.E machine guns and artys.)
D. Notice he was using pistols? I noticed he couldn't lift his arm's very high, you need to have unrestricitive equipment to raise your rifle up. Pistols are absolutely useless in an outdoor combat envirement.
E. Unfortunate name.

Very cool though. I'd like to see a much more toned down version. In my opinion, Dragon armor is far surperior.

Props on the find though.

There's only so much he can do out of his pocket, though. That right there, alone, cost him 200,000(I think, that's what he said). If the Military(ANY Military) gives him a Contract, they'll fund his R&D and he can make not only a lighterweight version(Like he's doing for his Grizzly Suits), but one that'd be even better. Though, I think the main thing he has to change is the visors, like you said. Given enough training, 40 pounds of that stuff plus the stuff you'd normally strap on(Sacks, Belts w/Ammo, Rifle, etc.) would be virtually nothing. Not to mention that it's 40lbs of FULL protection, A tracking chip, a Clock, Two Pistols for sidearms, airconditioning in the Helmet, a Laser Pointer to point out enemies, spray that can kill, Magnets, a Remote Viewing thingy, and the other gadgets he had on there.

I gotta say it looks nice. But I have to agree with Lost (sorry I don't know your name). It looks rather restricting and that helemet does seem to cut down on site. It would be interesting to see what could be done, like Aaron said, if he was contracted by the military.

 

[Jace Arcage]

I like it, but some of the stuff seems too fragile.

For example, the clock over the cup? That seemed stupid to me. I think a much more efficient placement would be IN the helmet. If he had the money to put air conditioning in that helmet, it couldn't have cost too much more to put a little light in it to project the time like HUDs. Hell, he could have ripped one off a normal alarm clock.

The remote control car seemed dumb to me. I don't think EVERY soldier would need one. That is, after all, why there are specialists in the military. So everyone doesn't have to carry all that stuff.

I agree with everyone's comments on the helmet's vision and the pistols. I think it's a good idea, but I think the government would have to build this super-suit to make it efficient. This guy just doesn't have the funding to make it an ideal suit of armor for soldiers.

 

[Drago Solaris]

Your right it probably doesn NEED it but when your demonstarting like this, you dont want to go with bare basics, you want to show its full potential.

Also the clock IN the helmet could be extreamly distracting to a soldier if he was trying to aim, real life and games are alot different like that for some reason.

I'm waiting for the mass production of the GRAW2 armor. Which has already been fully tested in combat.

The what?

 

[Keanu]

i think he is talking about gears of war a game which sucked and the armor in it was nothing special.

And go die in a hole. Although the armor was nothing special.
