Pouncer
The Pouncer, or Pouncer-suit, is a styling of light armor intended to be worn mostly by tigiren, but has also been adapted by some space-faring tikerin, lunaki, and similar built mid-weight furred & tailed bipeds. Its comparable with skin-tight jumpsuits, as a one piece uniform using its own micro Smart-Gear systems to go from a simple belt fit, to expanding across the legs, feet, arms, and collar to a firm fit. However sizing varies and must be fit more to the user's class to make sure its tight enough for nanotech benefits, but loose enough to avoid fur-chaffing. In poor circumstances the device still often flexes and does its best fit, but it often compromises a bit in some way. The exception is the abdomen, made with more segmented flaps and a more elastic material that can stretch out in layers, able to hold pressures in case a tigiren picks apart and devours a larger preymeal. The default color is gray, but can be stylized or ordered in a massive variety, including some fashionable styles like a sequin finish, or special patterns.
The tail, hands, and heads are also unarmored with expectations that its not a solitary suit, and should be supplemented with the user's needs for helmets or optics, special glove wear, and other. Feet however are secured with intentions of temperature control or even gravity assistance with where the user moves. Its common for this to sometimes be the under-armor to more serious combatants, or uniform wear for rugged civilian jobs.
Nanotech in the suit responds to temperature conditions, and trauma, as well as syncing with some other features to provide small intuitive assistance. For example, if bleeding or damaged in the suit, the colors around it may change to provide warning. If more internal or stressful wounds are detected like a broken bone, it projects an ideal spot to inject a syringe of healing cell boosters. If shot or punched, nanites try reinforcing the area with potential to block or dull the pain - yet as the trauma can happen fast, its still a high risk, just more safer than regular fabric or leather.
Manufacturing process
Hems of cloth are sewn over special imbedded circuitry along the collar, and cellular micro nanotech with some strict limits and recycling measures for endurance. Outer layer is triple-padded in sturdy cloth. Belt is attached in last, with Smart-gear microchipping with strict preset functions.
