The armor now resides at a museum called the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. The museum consists of collected artifacts and the private art of the Menil family.
Interesting read on the history of the suit. The actual purpose is not bear hunting, and is unknown.

I think it’s a stalemate.
Parry this you fucking casual.
It’s all fun and games until the bear pulls off a boot.
Armourer: “What kind of plate do you have in mind?”
“Do you know morning stars?”
“Say no more, fam.”
I guess the technique was to just run up and Hug the bear to death. Probably where the phrase “bear hug” came from 😂
Hey it’s Pinhead from Slipknot!
