You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is somewhat stronger than the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is a little harder to maneuver with than the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is about as resistant to fire and is more absorptive of fire than the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is a little less resistant to cold and is more absorptive of cold than the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is a little more resistant to electricity and is more absorptive of electricity than the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is about as resistant to puncture damage and is about as absorptive of puncture damage as the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is a little more resistant to slice damage and is a little more absorptive of slice damage than the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers is about as resistant to impact damage and is a little more absorptive of impact damage than the quilted hauberk. You are certain that the firecat-skin leathers weighs a lot more than the quilted hauberk. [Roundtime: 8 seconds] This is a fairly accurate comparison of old firecat leathers compared to a new silk hauberk. Both are about the same (light) density material, and the firecat leathers are within 5% of what the new profile will be. Overall cloth should have 10% less total protection and absorption than leather (though not necessarily spread out across stats), in exchange for weight and hindrance reduction. With bone, leather and cloth all falling into the "light" category, so this should work nicely. Bone will be just a hair more protecting than leather, but with greater hindrance and protection to boot. Real Life nabbed me quite hard tonight. Work will continue through the week...
