You could make a bodysuit, can't see why not - was there a particular application you were thinking of?
The fiber is bacteria resistant, odor resistant, and naturally cool to the touch. We have yet to find any disadvantages of this product compared to a traditional nylon. This fiber has been used in safety equipment like gloves for some time without issues like allergic reactions - and we haven't see anything like that in our own testing.

Since someone said that they might be knife/abrasion-proof you could have a sporting line of undershirts (or would it be overshirts) that one could wear for these types of applications. I would think that maybe a leotard or some type of bodysuit might be appropriate for that?

Sporting has been a very popular use case/product request. So much so, I actually started a mailing list to collect interest/to learn more about what people would like to see from that type of product: http://eepurl.com/dkHD6X
Also, other than the resistance to being broken does it have any other capabilities such as wicking, odor resistance?
Are there any disadvantages to wearing the fiber?
What about allergic reactions?
