To create a lightweight superhero suit composed of various gadgets that would resist against knife attacks, punches and water
This project will only be funded if at least €550 is pledged by .
Hey ! I'm a Real Life Superhero (RLSH) called the Salamander based in Lyon (France) and I'm trying to make a super-suit that would protect me while patrolling the streets and giving homeless people food.

I've been through a lot of working and researches to find the perfect componants and materials to make this a reality. Patrolling the streets at night is very dangerous and it needs a lot of protective gear that would allow me to move and be protected head to toes at the same time. Since I did parkour for 2 years and martial arts for 4 years, I need a very flexible suit that does not hamper movements, and I know exactly how.
The suit will be stab-proof, water-proof, and have a lot of gadgets incorporated inside it. It's been 5 months I'm trying to come up with the perfect design, finding the best materials, and questionning myself about what could fit and not fit.
The suit will be composed of Kydex thermoplastic sheets (Wich are made to hold knifes) so it'll be knife proof and impact proof. 2 layers of Kydex will be added to the most exposed areas of the body.
The fact that Kydex can bend with heat is a very interesting thing because it will change its shape into whatever I want to, such as a face protections :
The Kevlar will be rolled around the Kydex in a way to prevent impacts :
And impact resistant foam will be added under the Kydex and the Kevlar to absorb all of the impacts given to the body.
I got the inspiration from The Black Rat (https://youtu.be/qGFwdVu2Z28) and Armatus Designs who made an actual working Batsuit (https://youtu.be/yFzIZkofoFg) with whom I have spoken about how I should make my own suit. He made a succesful Kickstarter campaign and his suit works very well ! Go check it out !
If the funds goes over 550 euros, the suit will be improved.
You will be able to see the updates of the suit once the project funded.
Since I won't have enough money to make rewards, Bakers will have access to a private interview with me via webcam, be credited in a test video and will receive a big thank letter for so generous !

Since I have been prepared for making this suit months ago, I will encounter no problems. Everything was thinked twice before starting this project !
