Holy crap! I might need to switch my headgear to this and my Hero name to something like Yautja.

Come on! Is that not the sickest helmet ever? Imagine getting some punches and kicks belted out by someone wearing that. The dreads would be like a mini cape of ass-kickery!

I avoided the motorcycle helmets because they are heavy though. If I am to be parkouring, I need to try to minimize weight. So that would be a problem. But I would have to have it at least sometimes.

Well, you could get a similarly sized kevlar helmet that would be much more durable then modify it to be moar badass.

I wouldn't count on a kevlar helmet stopping a round either but it's certainly got a better chance that some hard plastic.

There is a kevlar helmet I am looking at that is 9mm and 44 MAG tested, five rounds each. Granted, getting shot in the head even with a helmet is going to ruin your day but it seems you will get out with your life at least lol.

Legitimately bulletproof in most vital areas, stab proof in the torso, and cut proof in most key areas of the body. Since the gear is sectioned, it allows freedom of movement and is much lighter than it would be as a one piece. So even though it is more serious gear than before, it remains lightweight.
Oh and I decided to upgrade from a bicycle to a motorcycle to get around when I am not bouncing off of walls and leaping rooftops. That way I can cover more than a few blocks at a time.

We all need to learn parkour. Speak for yourself. I'm too damn old and far to out of nick to even think of it. As for me. I'd get an armored bikers helmet made ( bullet proof visor too). Also get a heavily kevlar padded teflon weave jacket to protect major organs and a bullet proof and padded Jock strap ( I like my privates as they are). I've lost far to many steps to waist time and carry the weight to protect any more than that. I've got combat skill but courtesy of a completely blown out right knee from security work 18 years ago ( chased down a couple of thieves in a multi story shopping center. lept the rail and jumped from level 3 to 1 to cut off their exit The jarring wasn't that bad but while still one footed I had a hold of one of them who was still making a run for it and the other kicked me in the knee and took it out) and the other not far off from favoring it for a year or two afterward. So for me I'd stick to my better skill, marksmanship. I'd use some old military contacts to track down an L961 sniper riffle ( I used one during the Faulklands Island War) with a thermal and telescopic sight. I'd try my hardest to do all my crime fighting from a distance. As a back up for when that fails some smoke bombs and a stun gun ( the old type of butchered shot gun that fires a heavy wad to knock the wind out of someone hard). As for transport, an old suped up V8 bedford van with stainless steal reinforcing as armament and a cut out gun port on the top that I could flip up and shoot from cover. F@#$ I got kid's now days I'm not taking any of the stupid chances I took in my youth. My name Copout My motivation Mid life crisis need to prove to myself i can still do this $h!t

Awesome Beat. If nothing else, you know your limits.
Is the stun gun just those shotguns that fire bean bags? I have only seen them used once but I hear they hurt like few other things when pelted in the chest.
