CrunchDeals: Immortality for $12,000

Maybe you’ll soon see some well-dressed SWAT team members running around the seedier parts of your neighborhood. They’ll look like they just got off the golf course but they’ll actually each be wearing a $12,000 bulletproof polo shirt by Miguel Caballero.
While the previously-reported bulletproof pocket square protects your heart, this handsome shirt will presumably protect your entire torso. It’s apparently made of “ultra-lightweight bulletproof fabric,” according to Likecool.com and, I must admit, I have never ever heard of such a material.
Lightweight though it may be, I guess the shirt can protect you from gunfire ranging from a 9mm pistol and all the way up to automatic fire from an Uzi submachine gun.
You serious? So basically you’re immortal. Great. Immortality for $12,000. Just need to pull twelve grand out of the old 401k – hey, where’d all my money go?

That’s why you should always aim for the head.

Ummmm……the Uzi fires a 9mm round.

Here’s the real question - is it dry clean only?

I don’t understand this one bit

My 401K is no longer over 12K. Do you think they will reduce prices anytime soon.
BTW: Don’t look up, the sky is falling.

If this fabric bends or folds in any sort of way, I’m not sure I understand how you’ll truly be protected. Okay, so the bullet doesn’t go all the way through you, but you’ll definitely still be seriously injured.
