Most of the natural terrain fields in Oz would cause you some discomfort
as
it has done for anyone with a ghille suit here - the fields include an
enourmous number of spiky plat life that snags anything loose - even the
suit made with neoprene strips that a fellow called Jarrod tried here -
he
made several types of body armour including a rigid shell suit that
actually
made it hurt more when he got hit - many players could relate that the
shots
that hurt the most are the ones that don't break - greater transfer of
nenergy and all that :-)
 Apart fro that - ghille suits minimse breakage and are not permitted
here
or at most US fields that I've worked at....
