That thing kind of unnerves me. Can you say, "Catastrophic failure mode?"

This is one of those Ideas that won't get out of my head, So I ordered a sample pack of CF and Kevlar fabrics from fibreglast.com. 27 shipped and it comes with a bunch of 4" X 6" pieces. That ought to be perfect for building something like a Cycle analyst Case that fits on the bar better.

I would think anything thin enough to be comfortable as a shirt wouldn't be very good at stopping shots from a Glock. Perhaps some sort of carbon/kevlar reinforced chainmail over a sheet of woven steel fibers? :? The chainmail would also be quite puncture resistant. Keep you from gettin' shanked.
Dammit, now you got me thinkin' about another project.

revisiting this Idea, the samples came in the mail today. there isn't much there, but I did get 3 diffrent colors of CF/Kevlar blend, one sheet of pure kevlar, one of CF matt (non woven) and atleast 4 sheets of diffrent types of woven CF. each sample is 4"X6", plenty big enough to make a Cycle Analyst box out of.
I also have a nice chunk of styrofoam ready, all I need is an idea.
I figure I could do a simple round edge box for the Cycle Analyst, but that seems pretty boring. I'd rather try to come up with something more intresting.
Any Ideas?
