I feel like this should compensate for the slowdown - i think the current resistance is at about 30%? So we could potentially make that number a bit higher if its still not worth wearing
That's definitely helpful. To me, the riot gear should be more about keeping things back rather than advancing. You put it on and stay near a choke point, or surround a person you're trying to protect, from what will most likely be multiple, poorly armed attackers. Being slow is fine in that case, but you want to be able to not be knocked down, or back. Some kind of resistance to
being shoved would be helpful.
