The Miner's Jacket is a unique Clothing jacket found in various locations across the Zone of Contamination. It most often spawns somewhere inside the Langston Mine, Concentrator, Conveyor Room, Headframe Building, or Idle Camp.
Miner's Jacket is a shirts item in The Long Dark. It adds 2°C warmth and 3°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 50%. It weighs 2 kg.
At 1°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #87 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a poor return for the weight.
Its 4% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.
Note the 5% 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 2 × Cloth; 60 minutes; 35% condition and harvests into 2 × Cloth; 20 minutes.
Verdict: Overall Miner's Jacket is a 2°C shirts piece, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
