Dusters are one of the classic hot-weather garments in rimworlds, often paired with a cowboy hat.

Acquisition

As a complicated garment, dusters require Complex Clothing to be researched and can only be made at a hand tailor bench or an electric tailor bench. A duster requires 80 of any textile and 167 units of work.

Dusters can be purchased from traders or stripped from Outlanders and Pirates.

Analysis

As parkas are necessary to survive in very cold biomes, dusters are necessary to survive in very hot biomes (e.g. Arid Shrubland, Tropical Rainforest, Desert, etc.), and recommended for temperate biomes (i.e. Temperate Forest), as both are susceptible to heat waves, reaching up to or even exceeding 60 °C (140 °F) at the peak of summer. When made of tough materials, a duster provides reasonable sharp damage protection, and can be paired with a flak vest for an early and mid game armor set.

Dusters are usually seen as preferable to jackets, since dusters provide identical armor bonuses, also cover the neck and legs, and have slightly higher hit points (200 vs. 160). Insulation wise, dusters offer significantly better insulation from heat (85% vs. 30%) but worse insulation from cold (60% vs. 80%) and require slightly more resources to craft.

In cold biomes, parkas may be preferable to dusters. While parkas offer less armor than a duster (20% vs. 30%) and don't cover the legs, they are significantly better at insulating from cold (200% vs. 60%)
