Comments from Robin Yang:
We started working on the SST armor before the movie came out. Unfortunately
we didn't finish until after the movie's release and even then were still
working out some of the finishing details. (In some of the early photos you
can see we didn't have the correct pouches or weapons.) The body armor is
made of a rubber product called EST-40. This is another example of having
to use the same materials/techniques as they did with the originals in order
to make accurate reproductions. As far as I know we are the only prop group
who did this; due to the large number actually made for the movie most people
purchased screen used originals to wear around. We did purchase original
jackets, pants and boots to wear but the armor, helmet and weapons are
reproductions.
