This is a light clothing item made of cotton, which covers 70% of your torso, and which has some storage capacity. It doesn't occupy too much space, doesn't encumber you at all, and will keep the areas it covers barely warm.
It offers very low protection against bashing attacks and very low protection against cutting ones (that includes bullets), while offering no protection from environmental hazards.
It has no extra particularities.
This clothing item can be repaired, fitted (if appropriate) and reinforced via the tailoring skill, by using a sewing kit or bone needle and rags.
Notes
Due to the low encumbrance and higher storage than other clothing, vests are often preferred for melee builds, where encumbrance costs skill and traveling light keeps you alive. Encumbrance also decreases dodge, so utility vests may be preferred for passive dodge defense over active armor defense.
Can be cut apart to obtain rags.
Its big brother, the chest rig, provides 4 extra storage at no additional cost.
