This particular outfit has gotten the most use through the years, serving as Jill’s default outfit in the original RE as well as the remake, though it must be earned in RE3 along with such atrocities as the meter maid getup, leisure suit, and Dino Crisis Regina outfit, among others. Fortunately, it brings some sanity to the streets of an otherwise mad Raccoon City.

Logic tells us that as one responsible for the health of the entire team, the field medic should be just as protected (if not moreso) than the offensive members of the squad. But with RPD police chief Brian Irons funneling the force’s budget into the goddamn gem puzzles and thematically locked doors of the Raccoon Police Station, little Rebecca is left with a small cream-colored vest to guard her vitals. But it does fulfill its purpose! The crazy antics that unfold deep within Umbrella’s laboratory end in little Rebecca taking a slug to the chest and popping right back up after a few minutes, perky as ever. It might not be able to defend against a Tyrant claw to the sternum, but Rebecca’s vest is good for stopping bullets on the rare occassion a S.T.A.R.S member would be faced with firearms over rotten, outstretched arms.

You can’t expect to go up against the nightmare world’s most Boschian creations without breaking a sweat, and the way Heather wears those sweatbands you’d think she was anticipating it! Her super-absorbent cotton bands are ever vigilant in their quest to keep Heather’s skin smooth and dry. Because nothing ruins a day more than perspiring all over your ceremonial katana! Whoa! It’s not a sweat channel!

But the most functional item in her ensemble is Heather’s vest. Smooth, silver-white, and full of pockets, this nylon wonder allows Heather to keep her flashlight in a fixed position as she explores, leaving both hands free to bash in nurse skulls with the trusty rusty pipe! An orange undershirt matches her sweatbands and provides additional warmth and protection from the cold night air, while the same breathable material collaborates with Heather’s exposed knees and arms to keep her cool in the depths of Samael’s bowels. Don’t forget the sunblock~!
