About the Road Sign Kilt
It has room for up to 3 armor inserts, each adding its own protection and movement penalty to the piece. Its cold protection is negative (-50%), so it chills you in cold weather.
From full condition it soaks up 150 damage before it breaks. Recycling it returns the Road Signs only by chance, 50% of the time.
On the tech tree it sits behind 3 other unlocks: Road Sign Gloves, Hoodie and Hazmat Suit. In all, 25 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
