Description:
HH Sniper Armor is a lightweight, durable armor used for sniping or other stealth purposes. It allows for superior mobility and maneuverability along multiple terrains while offering resistance to blasters and minor protection against kinetic energy. The body of the armor is largely made from Armorweave and Sullust Leather, designed to be comfortable and form-fitting to the wearer. Flexisteel padding along the chest, elbows and knees allows for greater protection against blasters in those areas, while simultaneously cushioning the important points of a sniper’s body as they maneuver into position. The HH Sniper Armor is designed to handle different types of terrain, from rocky mountains to forests and beyond. The Heatflex Fabric and bodyglove help regulate body temperature in colder environments while offering another layer of blaster protection. The gloves are fitted and a bit stiff, but help steady a user’s hands for handling ranged weaponry, and are coated with FrictionGrip to help up stability and accuracy. The boots are covered with FrictionGrip as well, allowing the wearer to scale sheer or otherwise impassable surfaces with ease. The Photoreactive coating allows to wearer to blend in well with their chosen environment for superior sniping or scouting.
The helmet is lightweight yet durable as it is made of Duranium and has HUD capabilities as well as an infrared motion sensor and thermal vision. This offers superior motion detection capabilities, as the HUD can be flipped between several infrared and thermal modes dependent on the situation, allowing most targets to be detected. A rangefinder and lifeform scanner also help to uncover targets that may be hidden, purposefully or by the natural terrain of the land. The armor also comes with a bandolier and utility belt for storming ammunitions and a harness for weapons carried across the back.
The HH Sniper Armor has decent blaster protection, and can typically stop a lethal shot or two. While it can be worn into direct combat, the user should be wary of the armor’s capabilities given that it was built with speed and maneuverability in mind rather than high defense. While the armor has very little protection against lightsabers, it offers some protection against ballistics, but only enough to perhaps survive a single deadly blast. Even then, the wearer would likely be knocked unconscious and heavily damaged.
