NCR mantle armor

 is a variant of the NCR Army armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The standard uniform worn by almost all NCR troopers and Army officers. It has a decent DT, 10, although it is a lot heavier than reinforced leather armor which provides the same kind of protection at a much lower weight.

However, trooper armors are a very inexpensive way to maintain any medium armor with the Jury Rigging, thanks to its ubiquity and cheap price tag.

Bugs

 * The geometry on some NCR armors is poorly made, resulting in them clipping into the player's field of vision while aiming (a black strip is produced across the screen).
