Combat Armor, Reinforced

Combat armor reinforced is among one of the best forms of protection in the post-War Wasteland.

Background
Combat armor was designed to sheath the human body as completely as possible in high durability armor. Mainly used by the US Special Forces, 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.

Characteristics
Identical in appearance to the Combat armor found in Fallout and Fallout 2, this armor equipped most soldiers on the West side of the US army, unlike the East side which was still equipped with the classic combat armor, short-sleeved, having only the shoulder pads and chestplates covering the torso and not shaded visor in the helmet.
