Alloy Vest
The Alloy Vest is functionally an armoured vest that has been reinforced with alien alloys, while primitive and slapdash it provides enhanced protection over the preceding Armoured Vest, and the armour is available to research very early on in the conflict, providing X-Com with a possible standin for armour before the later Personal Armour is researched.
The Alloy Vest provides a noticeable boost to protection compared to its predecessor, it may offer some survivability against low-power or low damage alien weapons.
