DESCRIPTION
The Gossamer expedition's proprietary envirosuit is designed to explore the most unpredictable circumstances imaginable. It provides only modest protection against sharp edges and almost none against most other weapons. It cannot be repaired easily; it's often best to carry a silicar patch kit and still expect to need to throw away plenty of fabric. However, there is no environment too hostile for this garment. Period. That trait came in handy during a dangerous infestation of stone mites, whose corrosive and electrical attacks proved useless against the high-grade Rekali silicar coating.



Strengths:
  • Lightweight and permits a wide range of movement
  • Extreme environmental protection (corrosion, weather/temperature, electromagnetic, contamination, etc.)
  • Prepared for a wide variety of circumstances
  • Allows wearer to survive for several hours in extremely hostile environments (submerged in acid, jettisoned into space, dropped on Hoth soaking wet, etc.)
Weaknesses:
  • Very limited protection against standard ranged weapons, from disruptors to slugthrowers to longbows
  • Very limited protection against blunt trauma
  • Zero lightsaber resistance
  • Difficult to repair -- you either need a ton of space tape, or you need to replace the entire detachable section (e.g. glove, sleeve)
  • Too bulky to fit underneath another suit of armor, though you could wear a blast vest or something along those lines
