Description[edit]

This is a suit of armour that comes in two-parts - a set of trousers and a hooded jacket; and a face-mask with eye-protection. It is designed to be indistinguishable from normal casual clothing except on close inspection. Individual suits are made to order and take a number of days to be created.

n.b. Where formal-wear is to be used as the basis for the armour, it is harder to disguise the head-covering and face protection. This can add considerably to the cost of the piece and makes the disguise process less effective.

Much of the armour will be ordered using a stain/dirt resistant fabric finish - which increases the cost of the suit by at least Cr1000.

Protective Properties[edit]

The cloth of this armour is flexible when mildly/slowly stressed, but inflexible when flexed rapidly.

n.b. If the armour is to be fully NBC effective respirators/filters must be added.
