The Clothing Bonuses are either broken or not working as shown. Please check it out or provide more information as to why this happens with all clothing items claiming to have a bonus that I have seen. Thanks!
Picking up the item; looks great!
Now that it is in inventory it has crap bonus!
Its the same with me.
Yes, I hope they address this soon. This system does not seem fully fleshed out - there’s no place to see the overall effects of these bonuses or anything.
The difference in protection/reduction have always been in the range shown in the smallest value. It’s just a few percent even if fully equipped with same reduction, and don’t seem to scale with any perks.
So nowadays I rather look good dead, than wear clothing that I don’t really like, and that maybe let me survive one more standard bullet from an orange runner. 
It used to be a thing at launch, but it was uneven and not really thought through. Then it broke at some point and it’s not been a priority since. To be honest, it feels to me that one should be able to dress your character as you want without risking penalites like damage resistance and the like. The system needs a revamp.
I think they are planning some kind of return for this system but when that is… I’ve no clue 
It even were an entry in the log (under Tutorial) around release, that described the possibility to find rare schematics to add/move buffs/reductions to clothing (of choice(?)) (along that part of the log were the common storage box that we now have available)
When the stats went from visible to not visible there were also some tweaking to damage, so really hard to tell if they do any good now.
As if you accidentally run into a FNIX tanks autocannon burst, you’d be busy considering using the adrenaline, or spawn from another point to get a jump on it instead.
Now they are visible in 2 formats, the high number being really really wrong, and the low one at best questionable. Wear what you like, as they now either do so much damage it don’t matter, or so little that it hardly matter, depending on zone. (the gas-mask remain a mystery still)
I used to run with more silent and less visible, and it were possibly a little difference in the start, that now is negligible.
It were both good and bad, as you had to wear a specific set… that usually only had 1 or 2 colors to choose from, but at least it were more or less noticeable.
Now I feel more free to play dress-up and have fun with what is available.
I noticed something different today. I’m picking up black boots that suppose to reduce fall damage, but there is no buff in the menu:
The black boots never used to have any reduction/boost, just the yellow and the ones that are green-yellow’ish. Might be something they are working on that slipped by?
