Bulletproof Raincoat

This is one jacket that should have made the live-like-Jack-Bauer gear list because the only thing that can get into it is you. The long black trench is bulletproof, stab-proof and, of course, weatherproof, so no bullets, knives, "hypodermic needles, ice picks, knives and broken bottles " will penetrate it. Think of it as stylish full-body armor. This makes it the sort of jacket that you would want if you regularly tour through war-zones or exceptionally hostile neighborhoods late at night, although it will certainly give you a sense of security no matter where you go. It features two large front pockets and a high-rise collar to block the chill, as well. Price: $2,000.

I would have to agree with ALMOST everyone. Being of a mixed racial background (African American and White) who has spent some time with musically talented people of all colors, I can tell you first hand that not all rappers with African American blood coursing through their veins are gang bangers or "wannabe" gang bangers. For that matter, not even all rappers are "shanking" or shooting or even "brawling" their way to the top of the charts. If you're going to make a broad spectrum comment like that, you might want to do a little research on the subject instead of using your own "notions" as your foundation. This just proves that idiocy knows no color or gender lines

i think instead of selling this to people here, they should donate it to the military. they could definitely use something like this. they'd have less casualties.

Darn now what? How are the hip hoppers suppose to kill each now? lol. This would be great for the average cop not for thugs who think it's ok to have kids in every city and not pay for them to stab and shoot someone because they looked at you. And of course that thing they call music, which is just junk in the trunk lol. Guess hip hop is what happens when mom and dad couldn't bother raising the kid. Is this what happens when a Village raises a child lol

I think that the coat is cool.We have a trucking co. and go into some pretty bad areas in NY and LA to deliver produce and meat.I have been close to 3 seperate shootings in the past 6 years. Would have been nice then.

According to the order form, (yes I did), the coat weighs in a 3 kilos, just under 7 or 8 lbs. My duty belt weighed 11 lbs and my vest alone weight almost 6 lbs. so not bad for a coat that size. I will be hot though so summer wear is iffy.

Are you people serious? You act as if it is just people in the BLACK communities, and in the HIP HOP industry that are killing each other. What about all of these WHITE teenagers taking each other out for no apparent reason. Can you explain that? What about the comment that the gentleman made about BIGGIE and TUPAC that he's glad their dead, two less people to worry about, What kind of crap is that? Violence is not a BLACK or WHITE thing it's an IGNORANCE thing, and it sounds like a majority of you are feeding into it. The comment at hand was about the new raincoats, they are nice and I'm sure they will be a big seller to some, but not all. For $2000.00 they can keep them!
