Armour

One of Canada's religions is ice hockey. Here can be seen some of the kit of a goal keeper. Haven't got either the helmet or the stick in view in this pic. As you can see, quite a lot of gear even for a neighborhood knock-around bout. It's all fibre glass and modern materials, so weighs next to nothing despite its bulk and impact absorbing qualities.

My first thought on seeing it was bushido suit of laminated armour.
