Anarchy Online: Leather Vest

Description
This vest was made by Bernhard Magsitrale, the famous law enforcer. He was never called 'The Lion' when he lived - the name derives from a series of fictional stories based on his life, written by his daughter, Maren Magistrale.
The Leather Armor is based on an old principle; if a hide could protect the original owner, it could provide you with some shielding too. Of course, it did not provide enough protection to keep the original owner alive... So the hide goes through a special process, strengthening the leather to a point where it is barely weaker than steel, while losing almost none of the original flexibility. A heating system is added to the armor, to help keep the body warm.
