Designer Survival Suits


Japanese designer Kenji Yanobe has created a line of radiation suits that could easily double as zombie survival suits, and would be useful in many other survival situations.

Yanobe has also created specialized suits for both children and the elderly, ensuring that every member of the family survives long enough to provide a considerable drain on your dwindling resources.

The suits for kids are undeniably cute, but the survival car for granpa and grandma apparently includes a heated foot rest and built-in hot water bottle in the seat.

However, I think my favorite bit is the "for profit" escape pod. After certain conditions are met, the user must insert several hundred more yen to continue to wear the pod. Ideally, the money raised in these pods would be used to buy more, but I'm skeptical.
