Cowboy hats and motorbike helmet have the same water absorbency? 49% im sure your average motorcyclist would disagree in real life? if motobike helmets were water absorbant like that why would riders use them?
according to these charts-
https://dayz.fandom.com/wiki/Clothing#Headgear
and yet egit holiday hats are not as absorbant? at 4.9%
or hockey helmets at 25% ?
none of this make any sense at all, and as usual with modern games has to be established by external wikis? because the game keeps you in the dark and provides no stats about anything whatsoever? just subjectively interpretable descriptions.
