I am aware of this Dracc, but I am merely trying to demonstrating the fact that this material is in fact quite strong for its weight, I have no guarentees of its strength in a shape that is not as geometrically strong, but if it can sustain that much pressure, I would bet it could support a good deal of weight if you use the right glue. My next project will be a small 6 inch diameter sphere, and I will find a circus clown to test it out.

The thought of being able to sit with it could still work if you make, say a rectangle, then add the sides of the belt as well as the descending bracket. I bet if one of the more experienced members tryed something, they could make a masterpiece. I am new to this idea though so I don't know what shapes work for the armor, and which don't. However, thank you for the reminder. :not worthy:
Echo, if I were you, and I wanted to go skiing, I would buy skiing clothes. Just as this armor is not bulletproof, its not very safe to attempt something as potentially dangerous as skiing with it. Not only will you be setting yourself up to possibly injure yourself, you will destroy your armor. I would hate to see something you put so much effort into get all busted and soggy as wet pepakura often does. That being said, the fan (pointed inward at you inside the helmet I assume) could possibly get you very sick if it makes you to cold and your face is wet. I have had pneumonia, its horrible, and ironically, I got it while skiing in the Catskills over winter vacation last year.
Oh, and your not dumb, you just need to read a little more of the tuts.
