What is this cape thing?

GMoney · January 8th, 2015, 16:26

I was recently playing Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeros, and in that game, you have to infiltrate a "black site" and the guards seem to be wearing a kind of hooded cape thing. Anyone able to identify what this is?
Would like one possibly later on, looks pretty neat, may use one eventually for a airsoft outfit.

I have tried finding a better picture, but the guards don't seem to like to have their picture taken.

some sci fi cape thing?

It's metal gear... there's more into making designs look cool than functional, as with most video games.

just looks like a poncho

Poncho and poncho liner are all you need.

ThunderCactus · January 8th, 2015, 20:07

Poncho, but they're crap for airsoft.
Since any of your gear hit counts as a hit, they pretty much triple your surface area for getting shot. They also aren't actually waterproof.
You're better off with a softshell.

A softshell isn't waterproof either, you'd want a hard shell for waterproof!

ThunderCactus · January 8th, 2015, 22:15

You don't want waterproof lol

RaisinBran · January 8th, 2015, 22:28

Isn't that just a poncho for the rain?

Dutch_McBain · January 8th, 2015, 23:43

msg 5 is set in 1973 ... what is futuristic in that????

GMoney · January 9th, 2015, 00:01

I was even just thinking of possibly for my work backpack, just incase I get stuck in rain, as I'll be working outside alot. Wasn't sure if the military had some sort of weird classification for it like "Coat, Rain. R31E" or something like that. But yeah.

ThunderCactus · January 9th, 2015, 00:26

Nope, just a poncho.
You can get them in goretex though, I used to use mine to cover my gear in the rain.
