− | However, [[devilstrand]] [[duster]]s are almost strictly superior. They provide slightly more sharp & blunt protection, significantly more heat insulation, protect the legs, and have no movement speed penalty - their only statistical downside being a tiny decrease in cold insulation.

Devilstrand has the advantage of being growable, unlike steel. Mid-late game colonies are often able to grow sufficient amounts of the textile, making flak jackets obsolete. Other late-game materials, such as [[Hyperweave]] and [[Thrumbofur]], are rarer, but offer even more protection. |
Due to the speed and coverage detriments of flak jackets, even dusters of strong [[leathers]], like [[rhinoceros leather]] may be preferable despite offering slightly less protection to the upper body. | Due to the speed and coverage detriments of flak jackets, even dusters of strong [[leathers]], like [[rhinoceros leather]] may be preferable despite offering slightly less protection to the upper body. |
