Superhero suits in real life!

Right-o. So it seems that a company called d3o lab's making futuristic material, called d3o (doh!), that's lightweight, bendable and stiffens on impact, effectively turning into a form of body armour. A clothing company called Spyder's making ski suits made of this material- and apparently the US and Canadian ski teams are loving it. Awesome stuff. I'm willing to bet the designs of Spyder's d3o suits were inspired by Spider-Man's suit. They look pretty cool, don't they? Now if only they would make some for hot weather. ;-)
