Maybe the Mech Daddies and Stryker-types could use it  I do admire the guy's devotion, as he designed this and the suit from Project Grizzly with his own money.

...ammo, water, commo, food, medical supplies, batteries, yeah...
100 pounds of high speed gear is still 100 pounds.

meh his heart is in the right place , I've seen him paddout vehicles with some gizmo padding which took IED strikes really well , I think it was a jeep that was fitted it was on Discovery Channel a few years back , whoop i found a vid http://www.infowars.com/articles/sci..._fire_jeep.htm , now guys ive never been in an IED strike , knocks on wood , but I did drive around in a Gwagon with bomb blast blankets on the floor  , something like this seems feasible I dont know why he wasnt given a chance yet with government contractors , just my 2 cents
