Super spy fashion: the bullet-proof raincoat

Seriously. This raincoat is really bullet-proof. And not just sort of -- it protects against:
  • 9mm Full Metal Jacket Round Nose (FMJRN) projectiles, with a weight of 8gm (124gr) at 430 m/s.
  • Full Metal Jacket Round Nose (FMJRN) type DM11A1B2 (DN or MEN) projectiles with a weight of 8gm (124gr) at 415m/s.
  • 44 Magnum jacketed Soft Point (JSP) type Norma 11103/61103 projectiles with a weight of 15.6gm (158gr) at 390 m/s.
  • 44 Magnum Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) projectiles with a weight of 15.6gm (240gr) at 430 m/s.
  • Eastern European Tokarev LC 7.62 x 25mm steel core projectile with a weight of 5.5gm at 455 m/s.

I have no idea what any of that means, but if you do, chances are you need one.

For the more casual user, it also protects against stabs, cuts, and slashes with sharp and blunt-edged weapons (ice picks, hypodermic needles, etc).

Downside? (Could there possibly be a downside?) The jacket costs $2,000. However, if you're in a profession that requires this kind of garment (Secret Service, international spy, drug dealer), chances are, you can afford it.

Get your very own bullet-proof jacket from Spy Catcher. You'll never feel unsafe again.

It was a show of solidarity with Seoul, a big U.S. ally, and a message of resolve to Pyongyang, a day before a nuclear summit in South Korea. Obama peered through binoculars from behind a bullet-proof glass in an observation deck. He spent 10 minutes at the border and greeted troops stationed there. The 4-kilometre long DMZ is one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world.
