Armored vests are a somewhat common method of protecting one's body from lethal gunfire and sharp attacks (i.e. stabs, cuts, bites), as well as offering minor protection against explosions and the ever-present threat of clubs, maces, and muffalo. Armored vests can be purchased from traders, manufactured, or stripped from Outlanders and Pirates. Armored vests are typically encountered after the third or fourth raid, depending on difficulty and wealth (this assumes Rough and Crashlanded scenario, so somewhat 'standard' wealth). 

====Crafting====

Armored vests can be manufactured at a [[machining table]], once Complex clothing and [[Research#Machining|machining]] has been researched. An armor vest requires 120 steel, 2 components, and 334 seconds of work (20,000 ticks) to be created, assuming baseline global work speed and no enhancements or hindrances to [[consciousness]], [[sight]], or [[manipulation]].

====Conclusion and Comparison====

Armored vests offer slightly inferior protection, and vastly inferior coverage compared to [[power armor]], but is also significantly cheaper to produce and purchase. Armor vests also only occupy the middle layer - meaning it can't be worn with [[tribalwear]], whereas power armor occupies both the middle and shell layers, meaning that overgarments such as [[duster]]s may be worn over the top. 

Most, if not all, of your colonists should have an armored vest by the mid-game.

-The '''flak vest''' is a type of [[armor]] that protects well against sharp/piercing attacks (e.g. bullets, stabs, cuts, bites), and offer minor protection against blunt attacks, explosions and the ever-present threat of clubs, maces, and wild animals.

-== Analysis ==
+====Conclusion and Comparison====
-Flak vests protect well against Sharp damage, which includes all bullets, at a low cost and at a very small decrease in movement. They are a very cost-effective measure for overall damage mitigation. Because flak vests have much higher armor values than [[flak jacket]]s and  [[flak pants]], and as they protect most of the vital organs, vests should be created first.
-Specifically, the vest covers the neck, torso, and the internal organs (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys), which are immediately fatal to lose / lose both of. The only vital organs a vest does ''not'' cover are the head and brain, which headgear serves to protect. They also cover the shoulders, protecting [[Artificial body parts#Arms|artificial arms]] entirely.
+Armored vests offer slightly inferior protection, and vastly inferior coverage compared to [[power armor]], but is also significantly cheaper to produce and purchase. Armor vests also only occupy the middle layer - meaning it can't be worn with [[tribalwear]], whereas power armor occupies both the middle and shell layers, meaning that overgarments such as [[duster]]s may be worn over the top.
-As vests occupy the middle layer, they can be worn with overgarments, like a [[duster]] or [[flak jacket]], for even greater protection.
+Most, if not all, of your colonists should have an armored vest by the mid-game.
-=== Comparisons ===
+==Protection Information==
-Despite being much more advanced, the [[recon armor]] provides worse Sharp armor than a flak vest ''alone'', only faring slightly better against Blunt. Recon does cover the arms and legs, and has no movement penalty. But, overall, the flak vest with any sort of outerwear is better for raw protection - deaths from limb damage (specifically, from [[blood loss]] or lowered [[consciousness]]) are considerably rarer than torso shots.

-When worn with a protective duster, such as one made out of [[devilstrand]] or [[thrumbofur]], the flak vest is directly comparable to the [[marine armor]]. Marine armor still protects the limbs much better than any duster.

-== Version history ==
-* Beta 19 - Renamed from '''Armor vest''' to '''Flak vest'''. Now significantly less expensive and also protects against heat.
