HK (Heckler & Koch), AR500 Armour and a few others teamed up to make this amazing Star Wars themed ballistic body armour.
As a Star Wars fan this armour makes me so happy. I want one for myself. These spectacular body armours would be amazing to use for airsoft or paintball.
Background Information on Boba Fett
For those that do not know, this armour is based off of the armour worn by the Mandalorians, a race of nomadic mercenaries who have no set allegiance to the either light or dark side of the force. Therefore they can switch back and forth at will. The most famous of which are Boba Fett (from the original trilogy) and Jango Fett, his father (from the prequel trilogy). Although under used in the movies their back stories have been delved into at great length in the extended universe. These warriors all wear very similar armour to denote their allegiance to their people.
About the Armour and Wear to Buy it
This armour has been recreated in an attempt to allow the wearer to become a Mandalorian warrior, one of the most feared races of warriors in the Star Wars universe. As mentioned above, this armour is the collaboration of multiple different companies. Dubbed the GalacTac Project, the armour is the brain child of the main designer Ryan B. Flowers who was aided by the above mentioned companies to make is idea a reality. The armour can be purchased either through Ryan’s website or through the GalacTac website. Soon all of us will be able to become Boba Fett.
