I mean, it's not like I need Level IIa body armor or stab-proof protection. But it's weatherproof. And I do live in the Pacific Northwest. So I have to have a jacket of some kind, so why not one that will stop a 44 Magnum jacketed hollow point round and protect against bladed weapons? (For more info, see the Spycatcher Site.)
You know, my birthday is coming up soon....
