The Padded Jacket is a thick, quilted winter jacket with a hood. It is worn in the bulky jacket slot and covers the torso, the arms, the head and the neck. It is one of the warmest pieces in the game.
Its main strength is warmth and wind protection in deep winter. The cost is weight and speed. It slows running by about a tenth and makes attacks a little slower.
The hood can be worn up or down. It comes in a plain look and a Hunting Camo look with the same stats. It is a common find in department stores, clothing storage, pawn shops and outdoor stores. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
With the hood up, the jacket blocks nearly all cold and wind on the upper body and head. With the hood down, it gives full warmth and wind protection to the torso and arms. The hood down position also adds neck protection. The inventory options Down Hoodie and Up Hoodie switch between the two.
It keeps out a good share of rain as well. It suits snow and freezing nights. In summer it is far too warm.
Its defence against attacks is modest. It stops about a tenth of bites and a fifth of scratches. The plain Jacket stops a little more, at 25 percent of scratches, but is much colder at 50 percent insulation. The Sheepskin Coat matches its warmth with less wind protection and a smaller speed cost.
The jacket slows running by 11 percent and attacks by 4 percent. It also weighs three times as much as most clothing.
With the hood up, it cannot be worn with any hat or full head gear. It also blocks other jackets, vests, webbing, bulletproof vests and shoulder pads.
