For the sake of comparison (with default game values), the outfits offer slightly more protection than Reinforced Combat Armour, but not as much protection as Reinforced Combat Armour Mark 2.

The outfits themselves are quite expensive, but offer fantastic protection: they are intended to be amongst the best armour available in-game before stepping up to power armour, that is. The player will not need to find (or purchase) more than one outfit to be able to use it in different camo configurations: much cheaper and lighter 'camo covers' for the armour and helmets allow the player to swap the camo type used by the outfit whenever they wish. The mod also adds matching 'Dragon' Combat Helmets, plus Combat Backpacks (that increase the maximum weight the wearer can carry) M40 Gas Masks (that provide some radiation resistance to the wearer) and Balaclavas to complete the look. During testing this armour withstood multiple assault rifle bullet impacts and even point-blank hand grenade blasts.

It is loosely based on the real Dragon Skin body armour apparently in use today by SWAT teams, Secret Service and other elite military personnel.

The Dragonskin Tactical Outfit mod actually adds a selection of the titular outfits - in different colours and camo patterns - to the Wasteland.
