Was thinking about picking up a concealed vest and maybe one of those backpacks with an insert for a plate, interested in anybody's thoughts and experiences with wearing this on a common/every day basis.
Any recommendations/tips would also be greatly interested.

Prepare to sweat a lot. You're essentially gonna be wearing 3 layers, unless you wear the armor bare skin then its gonna chaff. If you get a concealable vest, get one that you can remove the panels and machine wash it regularly. Backpack plates are aight, but most heavy shit in a backpack (laptop, tablet, thick book) would hold out pretty well against weak pistol threats.

You do you, just get a couple good concealable carriers, some breathable shirts, and solid low profile armor.

I'm use to wearing multiple layers in hot humid conditions for work.
Plus I prefer being outside more in the winter + at night anyways so heat is less of an issue.

You will unironically get more protection out of a retard helmet than you will out of body armor. Odds of you being shot in the upper torso are miniscule compared to the odds of you hitting your head somewhere and suffering brain damage.
Unironically, the same also applies to concealed carry, but at least a gun can give you a power trip whereas body armor is just uncomfortable to wear in all seasons.

Brain in the skull, one of the most exposed areas of the body is unironically a piss poor design.
Frankly, I'm not sure how anybody can observe a human body and believe that a hyperintelligent deity actually put thought into it's construction.

Almost any other location is better though. The brain is literally located in an extremity that is not protected by the rest of the body and is quite heavy. If you fall, odds are you will hurt your knees, elbows or your literal fucking head. It's not even added by any soft tissue like the organs in the torso.
Making the torso bigger and putting the brain there, surrounded by muscle and fat, would be objectively a better solution.

Generative AI is literally better at plagiarizing human designs than God.

>Central Torso: Placing the brain in the central torso, near the heart and lungs, could offer better protection. The ribcage could serve as a natural shield against physical trauma, reducing the risk of brain injury. Additionally, this location would centralize the body’s most vital organs, potentially simplifying the circulatory and respiratory connections and enhancing the efficiency of oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain.
>
>Pelvic Area: Another potential location is the pelvic area. This region is already designed to protect delicate organs and is less exposed to direct impacts compared to the head. The lower center of gravity could also provide better balance and stability, which might be beneficial for species that engage in high-speed pursuits or complex maneuvers.
>
>Multiple Distributed Nodes: An alternative evolutionary strategy could be to have multiple smaller brains or neural nodes distributed throughout the body. This decentralization could offer redundancy, much like a distributed network, where the loss or damage of one node doesn’t incapacitate the entire system. It could also allow for faster local reflexes without the need for signals to travel to and from a central brain, increasing reaction times.

If the brain goes in the ribcage where do the lungs and heart go? and you still have to route the eyes there. same thing for everything else.

human body could be designed better but just 'lol lmao put the brain somewhere else bro it'd totally work' is dumb cope from people who know nothing. there's a reason why so many animals and insects have a head they store their brain.

Yes, and that reason is common ancestry, dipshit. Configurations that worked well for early multicellular organisms aren't necessarily the optimal setup for current organisms.
Next, you'll tell us how the eye projecting images upside-down and wisdom teeth are also amazing evolutionary traits.

Maybe have the earpiece wire be visible a bit outside the helmet, or put a security patch on it, idk.

>>61489767
The reasoning behind the earpiece/security patch is that you can't really conceal the contours of that armor, the suit is just to seem less threatening. Like pic related. The earpiece/patch gives you authority and look like you belong there.

>>61489082
You need the brain close to the sensors: eyes, ears, nose
You need the sensors to the front because that's where the motion is toward
You need the sensors up high because otherwise it can't see where it's going

There really isn't a way around this, unless you go cephalopod and have distributed intelligence throughout the organism, but then you're restricting maximum intelligence overall

>>61489832
>You need the sensors up high because otherwise it can't see where it's going
By that logic every mammal should be bipedal, but isn't. If you put your eyes on the level of your nipples, you would still see further than any dog. Nose and ears don't need to be positioned high.
It's classic reverse thinking: Pick a solution, then find reasons why it's a good solution, as opposed to looking for the best solution from the get-go. Evolution does not have the luxury to do the latter, you do.

Your eyes being on your head give you a superior range of vision. Humans can see 180 degrees with two eyes. If your eyes were on your chest, you would lose that. I’m not arguing in favor of creation, I’m arguing in favor of evolution. The superior organism won the evolutionary arms race, and you sound like a 12 year old going “uhhhj, if god is so smart, why don’t humans have laser eyes? Check mate theists”

>superior organism won the evolutionary arms race
A gold medal in Paralympics still makes you a cripple. The best solution from a series of mediocre random mutations is just that--the least bad solution. In case you didn't know, no evolutionary scientist argues that current designs are perfect or even superior to what humans can create. That's a distinctly creationist idea.
>If your eyes were on your chest, you would lose that.
Clearly you don't lift enough, bud.
Also, why "180" degrees of shitty peripheral vision instead of 360 degrees of better vision and a separate wide-angle lens eye with adjustable aperture to observe the skies. I can tell you for a fact that a lot of rodents would love to have that, but it's almost as if we are evolutionary restricted by prior generations.
>>

>clearly you don’t lift enough
Are you suggesting mounting eyes to pectorals would be a good “design?” Holy fuck, you’re a literal retard.
