Bodyguard Blanket

Thursday, June 5th, 2014

The Bodyguard Blanket is a bullet resistant body cover designed to protect from firearms and inclement weather including tornadoes. The blanket consists of two ballistic materials which provide a level of protection consistent with Level IIIa NIJ standard. It can either be wrapped around or strapped onto a person to offer protection.

It’s an interesting concept, but it’s also $1000 a unit. They also claim that children can interlock like Romans interlocked shields to repel attacks.
