Skull: I plan on getting some armor soon. As far as training, I have my own style of fighting. Very quick, and VERY effective.

Razorhawk: I agree with this but sparrows right

Sparrow: I agree and will come up with a release on mine, as well as waterproofing it

Wow Sparrow That's really cool though I wouldn't suggest wearing it
except as like a dress uniform

it's still cool

In my introduction, I let you know that I was a "plain clothes" minimalist type because I need to be able to change at any moment. So, my "plain clothes" are usually unassuming and good for dark places. Something like the following picture is sufficient if I plan on throwing on the mask, though, as usually that means high-level athletic activity will be involved:



If I were to have a cool superhero uniform, though, I'd probably use protective tactical gear like Tothian.

Well a quick release cape can be a cool thing. It can be attached with snaps or velcro. Will pull off easily. I have had some suits where the cape is directly attached to the suit and cannot come off, like SuperHeros dress metallic suit. But he uses it only for dress and special occasions.

Another request I have had from people is to make the cape fireproof, not to mention waterproof. So they can be a form of protection too. I will be wearing a half cape with my dress uniform, but that uniform is not meant for fighting in.

I think the only reason I would want a cape on my street suit would be if it could be fireproof, bulletproof, and fold out into a kind of hangglider so I could "fly" for short distances. The technology isn't there though.

I was thinking putting a set of magnets in the shoulders so the cape just pulls off if needed. Also, I WOULD have body armor on top of it, or integrate it into the costume itself.

Sparrow: I just finished designing the beta version of the mask. Heres a pic:



I have heard mixed things about armor materials....what suggestions to you have for type of armor? I have heard to use lacrosse chest guards, soccer gloves and shin guards...Etc.

What do you guys think would work best?

(I live in a rural community surrounded by forests, if that helps)

Black and white is always classy if you ask me:

I did that for my brother. Yes, it is just a reworking of Obsidion Frost's uniform idea. No, I don't have an issue with this.

But hard to keep clean.

Well how about shades of grey?

Same here, the whole colour scheme is really awesome. Do you ride a motorcycle or anything like that?

No, not my own- can't afford it. Saving up, though. My friend/neighbor/cousin used to have one which I would borrow (or steal) at every available situation, but he sold it a while ago

I thought that was some kind of Grey Power ranger

If I can make a suddgestion the mask looks great but don't cover youre lower face unless it gets really cold out it makes you hard to understand when youre talking I have a grey cape but I only wear it when it is raining and it can rain alot here durring August and September

Actually Polarman, if a mask like that is made from spandex, it distorts the voice very little. Its not like trying to talk through a ski mask. That will muffle your words much more than spandex will.

I agree with Razorhawk.

And the motorcycle outfit is awesome looking.
