My RL gaming crew's getting back together for a bit of Shadowrun fun. I'll be taking a hand at GMing the Missions, which I've never really played through, but our regular GM is running a campaign in Hong Kong, Manila, Hawai'i, and so forth.

The typical lined coat / armoured jacket's harder to hide and explain away.

Suggestions?

The Ares Globetrotter line from Arsenal talks about lines for hot and humid environments

An Ares Industrious Jumpsuit could also provide a handy disguise while being fairly light

Urban Explorer Jumpsuits mention being well ventilated

Plain old armor clothing works, for casual wear.

My group just landed in the Middle East.

I was the only one smart enough not to wear body armour, and to get some nice, comfy clothing.

Armoured clothing with Delta-Amyloid could well do the job.
With form-fitting underneath you get pretty decent ballistic protection.

Could you stack Delta Amyloid with YNT SoftWeave?

Personally, I don't see why not. There's nothing in the rules to suggest otherwise. Only a few people who had a knee-jerk reaction to the book SoftWeave is in and decided to blanket ban the whole dang book.

Well between YNT SoftWeave and Delta Amyloid you could make some very light weight armor (for the heat) very useful to lower bod characters

You know...it would be cool if they had armoured versions of things like the traditional bedoin garb for characters going to the desert, or armoured versions of the traditional clothes from India for hot and humid, or armoured versions of traditional clothes from people who lived in climates like that for centuries and developed their own clothing to deal with the climate.

If you can afford it there's certainly the Zoe Heritage Line, sure its 10000+ nuyen per outfit, but hey, its got style

Something like this?


I guess an added bonus is that nobody will suspect you are a runner.

Derek Montgomery probably ran around in armored clothes like that for most of House of the Sun... good enough for him...

You win an internet.

"You're wearing WHAT?" - Group reaction when our street sam walked into a meet wearing light military armour.

Also the added bonus that people would shoot you on sight, just because.  :P
