No. Early on, I was clear that the armor should either be a metal like titanium or steel, or ceramics like those used in modern ballistic armor. The plastic parts are removed and replaced by metal or ceramic pieces, which are much stronger and more durable than plastics. Imagine having metal plates strapped around your forearms, elbows, upper arms, shoulders, chest, back, abdomen, etc. Those are similar in placement to lighter and less strong protective plastics in motorcycle gear. That was what I was trying to say.
