Protection from acid rain and burns in Kenshi

An armour piece's record names the kinds of weather it protects from and gives one protection amount for them. The Dustcoat leads both the acid and the burning lists. Some races need no cover at all: acid does not touch any Hive body, a Skeleton or a Fishman.

What the records leave out

The records give each piece one protection amount but no damage per hour for the weather it guards against, so the tables rank cover against cover rather than promise how long a squad lasts outside.
