A bulletproof, air-conditioned, diamond-covered, $US3.2 million suit? Even James Bond would drool over this. Not that it would matter; it’s also waterproof. Naturally.
Developed by Swiss company Suitart, the Diamond Armour suit comes custom-tailored to each individual (ludicrously wealthy) owner. But that’s only the beginning of this suit’s many features. For the price of a small island, you’ll get:
- NATO-certified bulletproofing, shielding you from handgun-fired bullets ranging from 9mm pistols all the way to .57 Magnums
- An air-conditioned suit system that pumps humidified water through the jacket at the push of a button
- Water- and dirt-proof nanotechnology inspired by the finely textured surface of dirt-resistant plants found in nature
- Steel, black diamond-encrusted buttons weighing in at 140 carats a piece with 600 black diamonds gracing the suit in total
- Silk lining signed by the artist Lucian Goizueta, who won the Valoarte Art Show and whose piece “Rheinhafenkrah” graces the interior of the suit
- Matching watch and 24-carat golden silk tie, because anything else would be tacky
We can’t possibly imagine a situation in which a suit like this would be practical, but then that’s not really the point of diamond, air conditioned magic suits. So if you’re obscenely wealthy with a healthy dose of paranoia, head on down to Switzerland to have yours custom-fitted today. [Diamond Armour via Damn Geeky]
