[GZG] [semi-OT] Maybe "battleskins" aren't so far away

G'day guys,

Just saw this in New Scientist and it got me thinking about what
soldiers in the future will be wearing all over again ;)

US and Canadian skiers get smart armour

A futuristic flexible material that instantly hardens into armour upon
impact will protect US and Canadian skiers from injury on the slalom
runs at this year's Winter Olympics.
