RolePlay Wiki

Smartclothes can alter their fit, style, and color in a variety of ways, as well as providing personal-computer and HUD functions, visual enhancements (IR, UV, Low-Light, Magnification, and Flash Suppression), personal and environmental monitoring, communications, and limited life support (12 hours of air, comfortable from arctic to tropical desert temperatures, limited space-survival functions). They do not restrict movement but, sadly, usually count as three gadgets - one for the protective functions, one for the computer functions, and one for the sensory enhancements.
