what do you think is most important, mobility or protection, or a mix of them? How much the wind affects a bullet and in what range it can affect ? In how many time you felt tired from carrying the full equipment? You've been rescued by C-SAR?

@Clavix2: I preferred my near-total coverage set of Dragonskin; no matter how fast you are, you can't dodge a bullet if it's pointed at you, and I adapted to the extra weight well enough. Gunfire can be affected by wind at any range if it's strong enough, but up to a decent gust doesn't really matter within 200 yards. I usually started feeling the weight about 6-8 hours into a patrol. I've assisted CSAR operations before, but never been the focus of one.
