**************************************************************
It's back and better. This mod adds a large selection of
armor that's completely invible but provides damage threshold
and is equip on the slot BodyAddon3. This means you can use
ANY armor in game or from mods and get the damage threshold you
want without looking ugly. If you want to run around naked or
in skimpy underwear you can.
The weight of the items has been kept at 2 regardless of the
protection the armor provides. This is because there's such a
big variety of armor and some of it can be pretty damn heavy.
I have also included Power Armor variations which include
their enchanted effects.
These vests can be purchased from the vendors below. They have
a daily respawn rate and appear with 20 copies of each since
people like outfitting companions, caravans, towns, nations
ect in armor.
GoodSprings General Store - Chet
Primm Mojave Express - Johnson Nash
Novac Dino Bite Gift Shop - Cliff Briscoe
Mick and Ralphs Freeside - Mick
In game the vests have been numbered so the weakest appears
first and the strongest appears last. Below are the variations.

don't seem to take damage during combat and thus do not need

⚠️ Cons
