If a character is wearing more than one piece of armor at a time, only the highest value (for either Ballistic or Impact) applies.

Hum ... Somehow I dont get this part in the Corebook. Why should a character wear more then one piece at a time, if only the highest value applies? Sounds senseless to me. Would be nice if PC could combine armor like in SR3. Player character wears an armor jacket (8/6) plus armor clothing (4/0). Armor clothing counts only half. 8+2 = 10/6.

What do you guys say? Btw. I bought me the Arsenal and expected something like that ... Cant find it ... Or havent I looked accurately?
