Here's a look at Turtleskin's Chem-bio division. Definitely worth a look at possible near term MS uses:

We already know they're working on gloves with MS and possibly protective tents with MS, I'm still wondering what Kraig's potentially award winning agrotextile is.



Here's a reminder about the tents:

Warwick Mills Inc., New Ipswich, N.H., is working on a variety of lightweight applications for protective gear, including developing chemical and biological tent materials that weigh 11 ounces, “which is very light,” says Jenny Houston, executive vice president of Warwick Mills. “The material has to act as a barrier plus be able to have all the performance of a tent outer shell. We developed it through a combination of weaving, coating, lamination and adhesion to deliver those properties.”


For PPE, Warwick is working on lightweight products for tropical wear that are insect repellent and offer antifrag properties to provide protection from debris that can come from IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and grenades.

“The materials have a high cover factor to stop a mosquito from penetrating the skin and are also made of a high-tenacity yarn to offer frag protection, which is important for protection from IEDs, for example,” Houston says. “We’re six months into a developmental program for this and are very happy with both the lightness of the material and the frag protection.”
