If Ben Franklin had ever needed a shield, the Kite Shield would undoubtedly have been his first choice. While kites don't make for great armor (unless you're fighting an army of butterflies), this one is will protect you until the bitter end. Named for its unique kite-like shape, the Kite Shield makes it easy to hop on horseback, run, or merely look stylish. Sadly, the only thing it doesn't do it float.
