Hopefully, this clears up any confusion.

Of course, real body armor is heavy and uncomfortable. Even those without ballistic plates. Kevlar does not breathe well which is why they sell anti-odor spray for your Kevlar carriers.

The article blames this fad on Jack Bauer but more than likely it is merely that posers are more afraid than ever that they are going to get shot.
