 |Jackpoint=*The low-grade software/sensor package for this stuff is virtually useless unless you are standing completely still and wearing a full suit. On the other hand the high-end packages can make your armor jacket seem invisible at a full sprint. It’s all a matter of body coverage and sensor/software efficiency.

They come in a variety of colors and can even be custom ordered with different colors in each packet to make a pattern or just add a little flare.
