Tarp Handwraps are makeshift gloves made by wrapping tarp around the hands and forearms and taping it down. They keep the hands warm and dry. Any survivor can make them, with no Tailoring skill and no tools.
Their main strength is warmth and full rain cover from two scraps of tarp. Their main cost is weak protection compared with real gloves. They are never found as loot and come only from the Make Tarp Handwraps recipe. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Tarp Handwraps keep the hands and forearms moderately warm and block half the wind. They shut out rain completely. They suit cold, wet weather before proper gloves turn up.
They stop about one scratch in five on the hands and forearms.
Among the homemade handwraps, Denim Handwraps give the same scratch cover. Leather Strip Handwraps add a little bite cover. Burlap Handwraps stop half as many scratches, and Rag Handwraps stop only one in twenty. Leather Gloves are a clear step up, with warmer hands and better bite and scratch cover.
They take the Hands slot, so they replace any other gloves. They also cannot be worn with a full suit with a hood or with arm and hand pieces on either side.
Tailoring
