Textiles from Spider Silk

From the New York Times. According to various cyberpunk rules, this stuff is supposed to be bullet proof.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about dying."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means lying in the ground with dirt on your face and holding your breath forever."

-Burt Reynolds, "The End"

Nice to see people making some strides with this.

I recall hearing about people wanting to use spider silk to manufacture with ten or fifteen years ago. The big thing then was using it to make super strong cables with - like the sort to hold up bridges.

Anyway, does this mean Tal's spider silk boots should give an AC bonus?
