Guys,
what is your go to clothing considering inventory slots/insulation/level of water absorbtion?
I prefer OBR jacket as it has enough slots and can get drenched. Sadly OBR pants are medium insulation, but again can be drenched and have enough slots.
For backpacks and balistic protection, stab vest is medium insulation and can get soaked which is great. But press vest is high insulation/wet and so is plate carrier. I'm mostly going with stab vest here as I hate the added weight and insulation of the others. Just wish we got different colour variant more suited for desert.
Backpacks, well anything big is high insulation + mountain / tactical backpacks are even best insulation. Seems to me that either assault 36 slot medium ins/soaked or drybag 42 slots medium ins/damp are viable choices. Heck improvised courier backpack is 35 slots low ins/drenched so perhaps that one is a very good choice too.
Gloves, I've seen people running with NBC gloves as they are low insulation but can get only to damp. Durability 120 is nice though. Tactical gloves have medium insulation but can get soaked and have durability of 150. So I reckon those could be viable as well.
And as for boots, running shoes are low ins / can get drenched and have 100 durability. I'd say these are a solid choice for Nasdara since all combat boots have high or best insulation and are thus completely unusable for desert heat. btw seems to me devs forgot to add new combat desert boots with say low insulation, 150 durability, that could get perhaps up to wet?
Head and face slots are quite easy I'd say. You either take some low insulation ballistic helmet or that new T65 helmet. Those go up only to damp status though, so that's a thing to consider. I usually rock a turban or headgear made out of that new Keffiyeh scarf.
For face again this new Keffiyeh scarf is my go to. Ideally matching the colour of the one used as a hat, for maximum drip and aura farming.
Last but not least...since damaged clothing and gear loses its insulation level I guess having say damaged big backpack that was formerly high insulation would make it medium insulation? Same would go for clothing, gloves and boots.
Hm could this lead to new meta for Badlands where folks would be running around with damaged clothing & equipment?
