Laws differ from state to state and county to county.  In VA, I can buy them but can't wear them.

You can wear these though.


They don't use lead, just hard impact resistant plastic over the knuckles.

Does anyone remember Greensboro?  I wonder if that's gonna happen soon?

I think soft body armor may be a necessity in the coming years.

A 3D cell Maglight stuck in a jean pocket would make a pretty good "broken arrow" backup baton that could be justified to the po po as just a flashlight. You'd be popular with the ladies too.

Serious question: why not wear a plate carrier and hard plates to one of these shindigs?

Outfit yourself just like LE. Plates, riot helmet with face shield, and gloves with poly knuckles. Add in some shoulder pads and some groin/thigh protection, and you're ready to party.

Probably because it's a felony.

Actively participating in a riot laws vary by state.

In some states committing a misdemeanor while wearing armor upgrades to felony.

YMMV

Ride a motorcycle.

Wear a full face motorcycle helmet, motorcycle jacket, motorcycle boots, and motorcycle gloves.

Motorcycle all the things.

You will be nicely armored, with some good shit-kicking boots on, some damn fine armor over your knuckles, and your head/face will be fully protected.

Plus, you will look cool riding with the flags on the back of your bike.

Leathers are hot as fuck and don't proves much padding.  I'd use hockey helmet with itech, hockey pads, work boots, and M/C gloves.

I'd also wear soft Armor under pads just in case.

I honestly don't ever plan on attending a riot. I live in beautiful Central Texas and there is nothing like Antifa here anyway at least not that I'm aware of. This was just more of a hypothetical situation type of deal. I am always trying to learn and make myself harder to kill.

My number one choice would be a small shield. Anything thrown at you (except the back) you can block. Think of it as a more intense version of dodgeball.

Next helmet. But something that will not obstruct your movement or field of vision.

Fingerless gloves.

I would take mobility over armor.

And carry a sjambok.

You can loop the sjambok through your pants and wear it like a belt

And at the riot, you can whip commies and make them bleed

Say if you were going to the Berkley riot, what would you wear or bring? Would you feel confident going in?

I am a pretty large man, 6'4 and 255 LBS. I wouldn't really be scared of most Antifa commie scum but my problem is I wear glasses. I would need to find a way to wear a helmet and glasses at the same time. My contacts are expired and I'm waiting for more.

I imagine I would wear a helmet and a cup for my boys. Maybe a surplus flack vest if I could find one, or even the paintball armour. Probably long sleeves, jeans and boots. And the Texas and US Flag, duh.

So what would you wear / bring to the braw? How would you counter act mace and bear spray?

Paintball mask, bike armor and a plexiglass shield.

I'm glad to see things escalating and the leftists starting to get their shit pushed in by the right at these riots. They need to bleed.

HEMA gear is what you seek

its stab resistant and built for fighting full speed with steel sticks, fast.  Generally hot as fuck and expensive

Too unprotected down below.

I'd wear dirt bike riding gear, boots and all.

I've wrecked in some stylish ways and only felt it the joints and head, which is pretty much expected when you take a soil sample at 40mph.

motocross, hockey, and football probably have all you'll need along with some sort of respirator...
personally I think everyone on the right should be dressed like high tech Roman soldiers and train as such able to work as a single unit
locking shields working spears and short swords...

or go all leather like the ancient samurai which would intimidate the heck out of em....

Use a 3M full face respirator instead of ski goggles and half mask. It offers much better protection, and visibility.

We were issued ones that had a gasket too that prevented shit from sliding down the inside of your face shield.  I eventually found a new one at a police show for $50 (it cost $300) which I grabbed up.  Upon retiring I passed it on to my buddy who is still in the Sheriff's Department.

Motocross armor looks like it would work very well for the purpose.  Stick man's baseball helmet and goggles combo seems spot on as well as looking badass.

Gloves, groin protector, shin guards. Good boots.  Pouch with water and/or wipes for cleaning off and a backup pair of goggles.
