Light Vests

is a Practical skill in Escape from Tarkov.
==Description==
Light body armor wearing skill improves mobility and reduces the amount of received penetration and melee damage to your health.
==Notes==
Due to a bug, repairing armor with repair kits doesn't fully repair the armor, making the leveling of this skill more difficult.
After reaching level 10 in this skill, you have a chance to add an armor enhancement when repairing light armor. The enhancement stays on armor until it loses 25% of its max default durability or until it gets repaired once again. Armor materials represent their type of armor, making Aramid, Aluminum and UHMWPE light armor type. To see which type the armor is, hover over any insert part and read the material in its name.
==Enhancements==
After reaching level 10 in this skill, you have a chance to add an armor enhancement (on each part individually) when repairing light armor. The enhancement stays on armor part until it loses 25% of its max default durability or until it gets repaired once again.
