Bearskin Coat

Bearskin Coat is an Outer torso item in The Long Dark. It adds 6°C warmth and 5°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 80%. It weighs 5 kg.

Within the Outer torso slot its 6°C warmth ranks #1 of 19 entries here — the warmest for that layer.

At 1.2°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #84 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a poor return for the weight.

Its 15% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 20% mobility penalty — it slows you slightly, so a lighter inner layer can be the better trade when you are carrying a heavy load.

Crafting notes: it repairs with 1 × Cured Black Bear Hide; 2 × Cured Gut; 120 minutes; 40% condition and harvests into 1 × Cured Black Bear Hide; 120 minutes.

Verdict: Overall Bearskin Coat is the warmest Outer torso option catalogued here, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
