I hated this about cyberpunk but apparently they fixed it so clothing is cosmetic only now - you get your stats from cyberware.
You could technically get the same effect early on with an armadillo mod you could find and craft with certain skills to get it to something like 200 armour and use it to wear anything you wanted without having to care about the clothing’s base stats. But they patched it out so I guess it’s a good thing if they made clothing cosmetic only. Personally when a game has clothing I like that has worse stats than clothing I don’t like I’ll still wear the clothing I like and just treat it as a challenge.
Yeah it’s kinda a badge of honor to wear the fashion despite the stats. Like how when you play a game long enough you do the dumb thing on purpose just to try and challenge yourself
But if you came across someone wearing a hat like that, would you really consider them a threat? Maybe that’s it’s defense level being higher.

They know what players will wanna wear more.
