―Official Description
The HVM Kevlar Vest is one of the stock items a player starts out with (alongside one of the class-specific Z-Arm Tech weapons and an HVM 001), and it is advised that the player replace it with one with better augments or any other vest.
It is probably the first vest you will see. The version may be better than the non- armour the player will have at the time of acquiring it, though it is still one of the worst compared to any armour pieces. Best thing to do would be to replace this vest (unless it has better augments) with the Trooper Vest or HVM Carbon Fibre Vest (don't do the latter if you don't want the 5% movement penalty on the normal version).
