The veil is a clothing item that provides minor protection for the head and a minor increase to pain shock threshold.

Acquisition

Veils can be crafted at a Crafting spot, Hand tailor bench or Electric tailor bench. They require Stuff 20 Stuff (Fabric) and 1,400 ticks (23.33 secs) of work. Unlike most clothing, they cannot be crafted out of leather.

Summary

In addition to minor head protection, a veil reduces the pain shock threshold of its wearer by 5%,[Additive?] allowing its wearer to take more damage before being downed.

When worn by a slave,Content added by the Ideology DLC a veil increases the rate that suppression is lost by 10% per day. This stacks additively with all other forms of suppression loss rate offsets.

Veils increase Toxic Environment Resistance by +35%, halving the severity gain from toxic fallout, rot stink, and pollution. It does not protect from diseases, which are not contagious between pawns in RimWorld, nor does it prevent toxic buildup from attacks such as the cobra's bite.

Analysis

Veils don't increase the pain shock threshold as much as war masks, and offer less armor when crafted with anything other than devilstrand, synthread, or hyperweave, all of which are costly to obtain.

A hyperweave veil is competitive with a steel simple helmet of the same quality. The veil offers 8/9ths the sharp armor while also covering the entire head and offering significant heat armor. While hyperweave is generally best saved for dusters, the small amount used needed for a veil can be used to get some utility out of left over stocks.

In biomes where wood isn't easily accessible, veils can be useful early on. But war masks are generally better at providing a quick bit of early game protection for tribal factions, and both are outdated once better materials become available.
