The latest incarnation of the hooded top, called a goggle jacket, appears to have more in common with a gas mask than designer wear, leaving just small plastic discs for users to see through.

(From Metro).

People can only see this for the evil of intimidating people. Me - I'd wear one to strike fear into the hearts of criminals.

The youth of today - cover their faces but expose their arses with 'lo-riders', who can understand them?

I'm looking forward to seeing this turn up around my part of town, something else to laugh at. ]]> Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6741#Comment_6741 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6741#Comment_6741 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 10:29:39 -0800 Cat Vincent advertising-beamed-into-your-head) and air filter to the fucker and I'll have one!

They won't do that - the simple reason being that they would then have to justify not banning the full length Muslim wear. Although it would be fun to see the kids wearing burqas to get around any ban...

They trialled the facial recognition cameras on my patch the result being that they just didn't work. So until they get that working there is little need to have any legislation to keep people's faces open.

The failings of 'normal' CCTV are bad enough, you can't recognise faces on 90% of cases.

(Also in the article a copper mentions that a scarf and glasses hide identity just as well). ]]> Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6760#Comment_6760 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6760#Comment_6760 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 11:43:57 -0800 Cat Vincent fair points all - but with our beloved Government (or any of 'em!)

You are absolutely right and I shall chastise myself for making such a simple mistake.

it will most likely be business-wide first, like "no shoes no service" or "take your mask off during halloween so we don't think you're going to rob our store at gunpoint", then district-wide like in new york where you can get arrested at a protest for hiding your face. you can watch rosario dawson get busted for just thing while acting in "This Revolution"'s extras. generally that kind of law is local, not national. ]]> Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6789#Comment_6789 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6789#Comment_6789 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 12:49:48 -0800 Cassowaries

Of course, I'm assuming they'll be banned in the near future. ]]> Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6831#Comment_6831 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6831#Comment_6831 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:11:26 -0800 Alan Tyson Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6890#Comment_6890 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6890#Comment_6890 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:10:32 -0800 Ben Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6899#Comment_6899 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6899#Comment_6899 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:30:02 -0800 Unsub Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6935#Comment_6935 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=6935#Comment_6935 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 21:11:29 -0800 secretworm
Then again, I already have four "real" gas masks, ranging from a pale blue fetish piece to an authentic Soviet-era mask to the two US-military issued ones I use sometimes when, um...*playing*.

Was I the only one who got a little bit of wood when I first saw King Mob? I think not. Though I may the first one who actively sought out a gas mask because of it. ]]> Gasmask Hoodies http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=7104#Comment_7104 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=248&Focus=7104#Comment_7104 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 12:05:25 -0800 ian.mcrob

I have a very similar jacket to that one (a black Icon Merc with some kevlar added)and a cool Carbon Fibre Helmet.

I saw this even better helmet that seems familiar ,like some B list supervillian already had one?

While it is unfortunately horrifically tacky it does spray pepper spray (or fear gas or neat compound you worked up) in your enemies face.
Plus that will teach the babysitter for trying on your jewellery.

So, are hammers and crowbars next? What about hair pins or wire or credit cards?
Mirrored sunglasses maybe, or gloves?

Or are these already illegal in the UK, and no one mentioned it to me.

As a side note, I live in Canada, land of -40C before wind chill, and some days any exposed skin is too much.
