The armor is a form-fitting armored jumpsuit, with an embedded stealth camouflage system. It generates a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other, making a person much harder to notice but not completely invisible.
Chinese stealth armor provides the same protection against radiation as a hazmat suit, with 1000 radiation resistance and 98% inherent radiation reduction, as well as protection against waterborne diseases. It also provides a varying amount of damage resistance and energy resistance depending on its level. Additionally, it provides a stealth boost while crouching similar to the Stealth Boy and 90% multiplicative fall damage reduction.
Plans for both armor and helmet can be obtained as a quest reward from Invisible Ties.
