With the recent invention of a fully sweat-proof suit and the newest line of bulletproof clothing, we know we’re in a place of progress. It’s probably also a dangerous, smelly place, but hey, at least we’ll know what to wear.
Designed with lining made out of antimicrobial silver ions, the Farago Aircool suit promises to contain the strongest of smells. When sweat is released, the ions are supposed to disintegrate it when it touches the fabric and release a deodorizing material that will mix with the sweat and create a clean and appropriate smell. 
Without revealing too much, I will say that I probably need this suit. Primarily for the extremely hot conventions in Las Vegas I’m required to attend, and not for my jogging, though I feel that would be the appropriate way to test this.
In other clothing-tech news, Miguel Caballero, the security clothing Don of Central America, released his most recent line of bullet- and stab-proof fashions last week. They include women’s suede jackets that’ll stop a .44 Magnum, a $7,500 polo shirt that can take a shot from a 9-mm revolver, and the newest coats that will stand strong against a hail of rain, snow, or lead.
There are three levels of ballistic protection for each garment, and it’s seven times more flexible than regular Kevlar vests.
According to Time, Mr. Caballero’s business made more than $9 million last year, which only means that people are becoming more paranoid for fabric they don’t need, or the mortal danger is actually growing. Either way, it looks like it’s a market that’s going gangbusters.
