The Bandit jacket is the standard clothing of rookie Bandits and Renegades. It is available to the player in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Overview[]
The jacket consists of a black leather anorak with kevlar patches sewn into it and blue tracksuit pants (apparently from a fake Adidas tracksuit, bandits are Gopnik parodies after all) tucked into white running shoes and a beige hoodie worn underneath. Typically, it's also worn with a backpack made of hemp with extra straps across the chest. The appearance of the Bandit jacket is identical to that of the Leather jacket, the only difference being the colors of the outfit.
The bandit jacket does not provide much protection and is just marginally more useful than the Leather jacket.
