It sounds a trifle misanthropic, but check out the introduction to the Tactical Corsets. Yes, Tactical Corsets. As in load bearing female underthingies.
“For too long, women have had to compromise practicality for beauty. Men got pants with integrated cargo pockets and knee pads, women got clothes whose only built-in feature was cuteness. But why should men get all the high-speed low-drag tactical toys? Tactical gear is no longer an all boys club. Tactical Corsets bring female operators MILSPEC features like PALS modular pouch attachment webbing, self-adjustable quick-release buckles and Cordura construction in a load-bearing carrier designed to support the female form as well as men. And we’re just getting started…”
They are apparently looking forward to making (no kidding) tactical corsets that provide ballistic protection, using such gel material as the British MoD’s (Ministry of Defense) d30 material. Plus, they are modular. Your favorite fightin’ wench can add mag pouches or a hydration pouch or whatever you want. That ought to make it more interesting at a Steampunk gathering or rave, eh?
“Lace has grace but buckles are quick release.”
We like it, leather and kevlar clad beauties. We like it. Go forth and conquer.
Did you mean ‘a trifle misogynist’?
Nope, we meant misanthropic, as in a smart aleck reference to their complaints about men getting all the toys. It was a joke, but definitely intentional.
To quote Mr. Spock, fascinating. The possibilities for this garment are… many. Note the area code, I’m not at all surprised this company is based in San Francisco.
Thanks for the love! We’re restarting design and manufacturing for 2012. Stay tuned!
I want one!!!!
I play on an airsoft team and this would be so cool. Of course it would go under a BDU top but still a lot of fun
