Full body garments with interlocking plate armour to stop joints hyperextending

I have been wishing two things:
-
That we just wore armour as a cool everyday accessory and to prevent injury
-
That I had scale mail or something similar on my joints to prevent them from bending in ways they shouldn’t
I know our clothes are considered to be light armour, but seeing medium and heavy armour around like an MMORPG would be great. Traffic accidents might be less harmful. Outfits would be more interesting.
Make PPE more universal!

Start by carrying an extra fifty pounds everywhere you go, so you’ll be ready.

I’ve been eating so many cakes. I am ready!
Fr though I heard it’s not too heavy when it’s actually work like clothes!

How often are you hyperextending your joints?
only_a_jest@reddit (OP)
So, so often every single day

I was wishing for clothes that stretched the knee just enough to keep bones from grinding together where the cartilage is gone.

Oooh yes. That’s a great idea! Great for people with bone spurs too.

Motorcycle racing suits are effectively that.

You’re right! I love that.
