SPECIAL FEATURES

• Can be electronically activated to become skintight to protect wearer's skin from hostile gases and fumes.
• Interior pockets inside the coat allow for the concealment of item such as weapons, grenades, etc.

STRENGTHS

• Bullet Proof, Baby: The materials used in the coat allow for it to absorb shots from blasters, slugthrowers, and stun rounds. It's most effective in handling blaster bolts and slugs.
• Keeps the Skin Clear: The coat has a special feature that allows the coat to become virtually skin tight, with the purpose that it can protect the skin from toxic gases and fumes.
• Up To Speed: The protection offered from the coat doesn't hinder or limit movement, allowing the wearer to remain agile and athletic.

WEAKNESSES

• Cut Right Through: While being an intentional feature, the coat is practically useless in defending against lightsabers, blades, and blunt weapons.
• Not Invulnerable: Too much fire from blasters and slugs are able to eventually break through the armor. While the coat prevents the wearer themselves from being stunned, electronic systems that the wearer use can still be effected by electrical attacks.
• It's Hot In Here, and It Ain't Me: While the coat does provide protection from temperature in environments, directed elemental attacks are a different story. As such, a blast from something like ice or fire will leave a mark.

DESCRIPTION
After coming across a few situations where Gavin was technologically outmatched, he figured that it was time to start upgrading his gear, starting with his coat. A big issue that he's come across as of late is coming across things that he cannot do much about, and this coat is meant to plug in that gap in his defense. The materials used to make the coat allow for it to absorb blaster bolts, stun rounds, and stun rounds to a certain point, allowing him to take quite a few hits. On top of that, a special feature was added that allows the coat to becoming essentially skin tight, in a bid to protect the user against toxic gases that could irritate or even harm the skin. Lastly, the inner lining of the coat features rather deep pockets, that allow many things to be fit inside of them.

However, although this was a feature explicitly made, the coat is practically useless in defending against any kind of melee attack, including lightsabers. Ancient Echani beliefs were against the use of armor, and Gavin was raised on these beliefs, therefore he deliberately made the coat weak against any form of melee attack. And of course, too much blaster fire or slugthrower fire would be able to eventually pierce through the coat.

Overall, the coat is a simple design aimed with the goal of giving Gavin a pretty good chance in the modern galaxy. He is not yet at the skill level where he is able to deflect blaster bolts, so having something that can reliably protect him from them and other harmful things that he has no control over is crucial. And, of course, he'll look just as good as ever wearing it.
