Reminds me of an aqueous starch suspension. If you punch the liquid, it doesn't splatter but briefly solidifies instead.

It turns hard when agitated. What happens when a soldier is running fast?

I was thinking the same thing but it seems it takes a certain amout of "energy" to agitate it to that state.

Tripping over or getting a pat on the back should be enough agitation to freeze their suits.

Powdered custard with a little water acts like this, amazing to watch it shatter as you thrown it against the floor, then liquify and reform together.
