**Phantom Suit v9.04**: The latest build and model of the Phantom Suit was designed with a wide variety of features. Silicon-carbide plating on the suit allows for bulletproof protection on the chest and torso. Nanoweave underlayer designed by S.C.a.R. engineers allows for both durability and flexibility. This underlayer offers partial protection from bladed weapons and bullets.

The large area for Flynn to see out of is protected by durable one-way quasi-fiberglass that allows infrared and night vision as well as an advanced HUD displaying necessary information. As for the mouth region, a built in gas mask and emergency re-breather was added, as well as a voice modulator for disguise and intimidation.

**Tactical Computer**: Built into the Phantom Suit's left gauntlet is a miniature computer designed for making advanced calculations, accessing security systems and reading detailed mapping. Care was taken to ensure the durability of the computer due to the small components and dangerous nature of Flynn's missions. Another important design feature is that the computer's display is only visible to the one wearing the Phantom Helmet

**Grappling Hook**: The right gauntlet of the Phantom Suit had the grappling hook built in to account for expediency and frequency of use, activated through arm/hand gestures. The grappling hook itself has impeccable design as well.
