What looks like bracers, but aren't bracers?

Exos Braces Heal Your Bones, Look Cooler Than Casts

Say goodbye to old-school casts for broken bones. Exos Medical's braces, splints and casts are adjustable, breathable, lightweight, clean and waterproof. The only drawback is that you can't have girls sign them.

These things use a lattice of thin steel laces that can be tightened with one hand and loosened using a clicky dial knob. You can set it once and leave it be, or you can continually adjust it for the best fit. The best part? You don't need a damned saw to get the thing off. [Exos Medical via Fast Company]

I dunno, but you could give em a call.

Remember that these are used in lieu of casts - in other words, they're made to immobilize your wrist and forearm. I don't think that they'd be very good for LARPing.

Probably not for most of us, but for somebody with a recent injury that's still tender and wants to protect it with something cool looking? Perhaps quite useful.

How are all your friends supposed to sign your cool bracer?
