We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

So the status coup guy was talking while he was moving around about something he has to protect his head that he can then put a baseball cap over. He feels that with actual helmets ice is more likely to target shooting the person in the head. So im looking for advice along these lines on a few different basises.

one is common things for someone who wants some protection when they go out and can't buy specific things
two is suggestions for stealth armor like the status coup guy was sorta talking about. Being protected without it being obvious and possibly be made a target.
finally just any advice around protection while being out that people can think of but I am only interested in defensive purposes so please for this thread limit it to protection although redirection is fine and appropriate.

These don't have to be taken together. free found or stealth that might cost, etc.

Those plastic visors people used during covid might help against OC spray, otherwise any type of goggles.

If you're worried about getting shot, avoid fabrics like polyester cause the heat from a bullet can actually melt it to your skin making the injury worse. Stick to sturdy, natural fibers or anything that doesn't melt.

Footwear is important. Something closed-toed and sturdy that fits well and is comfortable and won't hamper your ability to move. Laces tied tight and tucked out of the way.

If you're getting batoned, it might be nice to have something on your forearms to block with. Something hard and padded underneath, preferably, but a vambrace would be better than nothing
