Surveillance Vest Transmits Video Evidence Via 3G
With advanced wireless technology, wearing a wire no longer means having a voice recorder or short-range radio transmitter strapped to your chest. This 3G-equipped surveillance vest can transmit a live feed anywhere in the world. There is also a panic button and GPS, which is handy when the Bad Guys notice a massive battery pack stuck to your back. The vest even has a built-in compact flash recorder for evidence if you lose cellular reception or backup doesn't arrive in time. [PhoneMag via Gizmo Watch]

Swiss Army Jacket With Air Purifier Helps You Breathe a Little Easier
Those who have trouble with allergies (and deep pockets) may try just about anything to help alleviate their symptoms, and chances are Victorinox had these people in mind when they developed this Swiss Army Tech Vest with Air Purifier. The purifier itself is located in the left breast pocket, and it supposedly transfers purified air to the funnel collar of the jacket where it can be sucked into sensitive lungs. My guess is that this jacket is nothing more than a means of separating suffering suckers from their hard-earned cash, but I'm not willing to spend the $500 to find out if it works.

AlarmWear Clothing: 125dB Personal Alarm System
When the wearer of an AlarmWear jacket, vest or backpack feels threatened, one tug on the carefully placed ring will set off a 125dB alarm. Naturally, the intent is to deter any thieves, potential rapists and the like —but let's not forget that these products are also available in kids' sizes. School bullying would surely be down a few notches, but the frequency of school lockdowns would be way up. Prices range from $40 to $60. [AlarmWear via TRFJ]

Just as kids wrote on each other's backs and tried to guess what the letter or word was—something we loved—these tactile vests transmits signals to the wearer tactically. Each vest has 16 vibrating motors that can create 15 patterns with a "very high recognition" rate. In fact, when five volunteers were tested with these signals, only one of them made a single mistake. More »

Dragon Skin Bulletproof Vest Repels AK-47 Rounds
These bulletproof vests are the first to stop armor piercing rounds without using some bulky plate. They work better than traditional shit beat cops use because the fibers are woven tighter; and they're woven in a way that actually tightens up the weave upon impact by bullet or blade. They're soft enough to roll up into a ball, and are certified for dives, so they're appropriate for amphibious missions. It's what all the fashionable mercenaries are going to be wearing in 2007, trust us. Geek uses: Probably does not have a pocket for your gameboy, but will most likely stop shrapnel from exploding laptop batteries. More »
