A Design Student Built a Batsuit That Will Actually Protect You

Jackson Gordon , an industrial design scholar at Philadelphia University build himself a combat causa in the manner of Batman . While not unassailable , Gordon says his aim will protect against fist , bats , and matchet .

Gordon coalesce functionality with his old cosplay , where he just create corking looking cause . As opposed to this actual combat one . The project started with paradigm in September of 2014 and then was funded by a Kickstarter starting in mid - November . The case was finish up a few weeks ago , just in meter for Gordon to wear out and invite masses to help him test it out at Katsucon in Maryland .

Gordon ’s Facebook pageboy , Armatus Designs , has a crew of in - progress exposure , for the process nerds out there . ( Let ’s be honest , we ’re all process swot . )

The helmet alone weighs 3 pounds , and the whole suit weighs 25 pounds , but Gordon toldUSA Todaythat even at that weight , he made sure to project something that he could actually move in :

It voice like a lot , and when you have it in a bag over your shoulder joint it press a ton , but when you are actually wearing it , you just feel it .

If this were to subdue my drive , it would be wholly useless .
