I don't know about you, but bulletproof underwear might come in real handy if you're unlucky enough to trip a "BOUNCING BETTY" mine. The Viet Cong used them to blow the nuts off intrepid GI's strolling through the jungle of Vietnam.
The way it worked was upon activation, usually through a tripwire or pressure sensor, the canister would fire the mine's shrapnel charge up into the air about 2 and 1/2 feet, then detonate. Instant casteration!
