Hey guys!
First off, this is not a "Should I...?" thread. I'm not asking how to make armor (I think I've got that part down, mostly ), I'm asking you guys to weigh in on what your personal opinions are based on a few criteria I'm going to list. (I hope that didn't sound rude :$) Also I don't intend this to become a feuding thread either (foam is better, no pep is! etc) We're all just having a friendly discussion.
The armor in question would be made for filming. So here are the criteria I can think of (if you think of something else please add it to the list along with your opinions!)
I think that's all I've got right now. So. What do you guys think? I'm anxious to hear you guys weigh in!

The armor in question would be made for filming. So here are the criteria I can think of (if you think of something else please add it to the list along with your opinions!)
- The armor in question must retain an accuracy and attention to detail suitable for wide angle and close up shots
- The armor in question must hold up to the wear and tear of standard everyday movement (basically all armors do this)
- The armor in question must also be able to hold up to the strain and stress of physical stunts involved with filmmaking (Running, Jumping, Crouching on knees, Sitting, Falling/Rolling, Laying prone)
- The armor in question must be able to perform with these ratings and require minimal repair between shoots
I think that's all I've got right now. So. What do you guys think? I'm anxious to hear you guys weigh in!
