I love corsets and this way i can keep my whip and hand cuffs close ;)

[cwydro]

2. I think this goes under the

"what will they think of next" heading.:P

[krispos42]

10. 'Kombat kilts"

I'd google it, but I'm afraid of what I'll find!

[kwassa]

3. Self-adjustable quick-release buckles !

"in a load-bearing carrier designed to support the female form. And we're just getting started"

Oooo la la!!

[ForrestGump]

19. Optional, as is the horsey.

20. Well, for a change she's cleaned up pretty good. n/t

5. Giggle all you want, this is a good idea

In the old days, soldiers mounted their canteen cases, ammo pouches and so on to Load Bearing Equipment, otherwise known as web gear. There was a pistol belt, a pair of suspenders and then all the weird crap we hung off the system--rifle cleaning kits and of course the most important part of the whole system--the Tabasco pouch! (This is no shit: The McIlhenny family, who makes Tabasco, has long supported the military. Once upon a time, if you sent them a letter with a return address on a military base telling them how much you liked Tabasco, they'd send you a free bottle of it and a pouch, which was made by the Bianchi holster company so it was a high quality product, to hang your Tabasco off your LBE. A lot of us got them. I don't think anyone ever attached it to LBE, though; we were always afraid of losing it, it was so cool.)

In the Modern Action Army, LBE has been replaced by the Modular Lightweight Load-bearing Equipment system, or MOLLE. Instead of the web belt and suspenders, they give you a vest...which, unfortunately, barely conforms to your shape if you're a male. Female soldiers who are C cup or larger don't fit into the issue vest; I sent a few females back to Central Issue Facility to exchange MOLLE for regular LBE because MOLLE just would not fit them. (CIF was normally pretty good about this--they would look at the troop, decide the MOLLE vest wouldn't fit and issue the traditional LBE. Sometimes one slipped through. In the 21st century, though, MOLLE is all there is.) MOLLE comes in several sizes; walking around in an Extra Large vest that hangs down below your ass when the vest is SUPPOSED to stop right at your waist because your chest won't fit in one the right length is no solution. A "tactical corset"--MOLLE made to fit a female soldier--would be a gift from the gods to even moderately-endowed soldiers.

Now understand: the "tactical corsets" they're displaying are made of leather and they've got some goofy accessories, because leather MOLLE and fun stuff like the tactical lipstick case gets people talking about their product. I think they know if this shit's going to sell it's going to be made out of Cordura like issue MOLLE is. (Then again...I don't know if the tactical "lipstick case" is really all that goofy--the issue camouflage stick would fit in it, and everyone wears camo when they go downrange.)

6. This product is half form, half function.

It wouldn't take much to make it mostly function for the kind of needs you're talking about. :)

[jmowreader]

7. It wouldn't take hardly anything at all

If it was made out of the correct material--ballistic nylon--it would be exactly right.

Okay, the strapless one won't work--by the time you get your water, ammo, GPS, etc., etc., etc., hung off a MOLLE vest it weighs 20 pounds, too much to just hold the thing up by your breasts. If you had one with straps, like the one in the picture in the OP, that problem would be solved. They're already using mil-spec clips and stuff to put these together.

8. If I had boobs and had to carry all that stuff, that would be my vest of choice.

[Heidi]

9. Does it guarantee that I'll become a contortionist like the model?

If so, it's well worth the price.

[Captain Hilts]

11. WTF?

[Forkboy]

12. Awesome. It'll go perfect opposite my Batman utility belt!

It's gonna be a wild night toooonight!!

Now if I could just get my Batarang dislodged from the headboard....

[krispos42]

13. Mental image...

...do not want!

[madeline_con]

14. That would be hot with jeans or Daisy Dukes and stilettos at Bike Week. n/t

[LostInAnomie]

15. I love me some corsets

Mostly for how awesome they make a chick's rack look. :rofl:

[qnr]

16. Um. Apparently it doesn't do anything to protect your lower-half, judging by

the mannequin, who also appears to be trying to protect her head from flying debris....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. It's pretty cool...Do they make them with sleeves?

I don't like going sleeveless.

[Blue_Tires]

18. that's a prop from the new G.I. joe movie, right?
