If you enjoy cyberpunk fiction, like Neuromancer or Snow Crash, perhaps armor like this could come in handy for some awesome cosplay.

In some genres of science fiction, it seems like the bad guys generally wear some sort of armor to have an advantage over the good guys. Effectiveness apparently varies greatly, since Storm Troopers couldn’t even defend themselves against teddy bears with rocks, but nonetheless, they make for great props.

Ryq Peden created his own futuristic suit, which consists of what appears to be football pads, outfitted with 65 NeoPixels powered by an Adafruit FLORA. The getup has controls to change the color patterns, and everything plugs in nicely with 3.5mm stereo jacks.

In addition to that, there’s a smoke canister on the back, which is simply filled with dry ice and warm water. Future plans include putting an electronic vaporizer in its place that can be electronically controlled.

If you want a cyberpunk suit of your own, be sure to contact Peden here.
