Ballistic Leather, or SkinShield as the marketing department called it, was a once revolutionary artificial material, now reduced to an obsolete but effective-for-its threats form of protective gear.
Nowadays it primarily finds use by third world paramilitaries, street gangs and other impoverished world citizens looking for something that can turn a bullet or a blade reliably yet also be fashionable and affordable.
Durability-wise, it is comparable to a LVL 4 ballistic plate from the early 21st century, but far lighter, more covering and even self-repairing.
Designs are highly varied, ranging from stylish coats for wary walks in the rain to puncture-proof underwear that keeps your melons and/or family jewels intact from any stray bullets/dogs.
