Special:
A hide shirt is more accurately called a leather breastplate. It consists of two or more layers of thick linseed-treated top-grain leather laminated with glue and lacquer into a segmented shell to cover the torso. It is lightweight and surprisingly protective, but quite rigid, so it is a bit restrictive. Due to its thick leather construction and good body coverage, it adds 3 points of protection against cold weather environmental effects, which stacks with cold weather clothing and other sources of environmental DR.
