They provide slightly more sharp & blunt protection, significantly more heat insulation, 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. |
