Combat Armor (Fallout 3)

Combat Armor is among the best forms of protection in the post-War Capital Wasteland. It has the fifth highest DR for non-power armors, only lower than Ranger Battle Armor, Lag-Bolt's Combat Armor(only available with Broken Steel), Metal Armor, and Metal Master Armor. It is fairly useful for early to mid-level characters, as it can probably be acquired before the Ranger Armor, and doesn't have the penalty to Agility that Metal Armor has.

The armor can be repaired with and used to repair all other combat armor variants, likewise the helmet can be used to patch up other combat helmets and be repaired with them.

Background
Combat armor was designed to sheath the human body as completely as possible in high durability armor. The primary skin of combat armor is composed of complex polymers and ceramics. This hard armor was manufactured as specific plates. The plates were manufactured with a matte-finish olive drab coloring suitable for woodland camouflage. These plates are affixed to a flexible body suit interwoven with thermal-dissipative membranes and bulletproof material.

Appearance
Though apparently intended to be the same combat armor used by characters from earlier Fallout games, all the Combat Armor available in the Capital Wasteland is short-sleeved, having only the shoulder pads and chestplates covering the torso, as well as the forearm guards. The Combat Helmet's shaded visor is also absent. The Winterized Combat Armor variant used in the DLC looks the most like Combat Armor present in earlier Fallout titles, except for the snow-appropriate camouflage pattern and face-covering balaclava.

The helmet is olive drab colored and its shape resembles the current day PASGT kevlar helmets. The picture shown in the Pip-Boy is also very similar to the German Stahlhelm. Unlike its predecessor from Fallout and Fallout 2, the helmet does not have the glass cover over the eyes, although it can be worn with normal eyewear like eyeglasses.
