“High tech armor, made out of advanced defensive polymers”

The combat armor is a piece of armor in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background

Main article: Combat armor

Combat armor is a diverse family of personal body armor with varying degrees of sophistication, ranging from the earliest iterations developed by the United States Army to the cutting-edge riot gear that came into use prior to the Great War.

Characteristics

Combat armor is the epitome of non-powered armor in the wastes, and was much favored by police and military forces for their outstanding durability coupled with their high level of maneuverability. The armor itself consists of a large chest plate and helmet constructed out of high-level defensive polymers. It is highly effective armor for medium level player characters, as it provides good resistance against small arms fire, laser beams and blasts of plasma energy alike.

Combat armor also grants the wearer +20% Radiation Resistance. Interestingly, this is not documented anywhere in or out of the game.
