Synthemesh “NovaRad” Skinsuit
![]() |
The NovaRad was originally intended for workers who must spend large amounts of time outside in the newly-warmer polar regions, where a lack of ozone protection from the sun’s rays means skin cancer for the unprotected. It has now been upgraded so that it can be used in low-hazard radiation areas such as fusion generators. The suit is made of skintight nanoweave and light enough to fit under normal clothing – all it needs is the rebreather facemask to be a complete protective outfit. A passive climate conditioning system is fitted as standard. |

Tactical BDU

The world standard in light-armor combat uniforms, the Tactical BDU can be seen anywhere from police special units and federal agents to corporate strike teams and professional infantry.

With the addition of a gas mask (not included), the Tactical BDU counts as sealed against air-born irritants such as gas and sprays, but not radiation. As the name implies, the Tactical BDU is designed for rugged paramilitary use, and has a fully integrated tactical harness. The Tactical BDU comes in several colors, but Blue, Black and Khaki are by far the most common. |

Synthomesh Zero-Suit
![]() |
One of the newest innovations in light armored cloth, Synthomesh’s Zero-Suit is composed of a light-weight variation of Gecko-Grip technology weaved into ballistic fiber. The fabric isn’t as strong as a standard Gecko-Grip pad, but the entire suit is comprised of it – the suit will support 60lbs per point of contact, allowing a crawl with one free-hand to support 180lbs, not including the suit itself. With it’s relatively light weight threshold, the Synthomesh Zero-Suit is most common with female operatives, but it is available for lightly equipped males – though not common in western countries. |
