I'm surprised this idea hasn't been brought up as a potential outfit piece or helmet mod, hehe.

Hehe amazing. This could be a legendary loot item, you know. Imagine never having to chug beer for a brawler build again. Just fill up an empty slot and let her recharge your buff on its own!

That hat should totally replace the nerd helmet, lmfao!

I was thinking the athletic hat, actually. Its current perk (reduced prices for food/drink) is... very underwhelming, to say the least.

There are a few bonuses on the new armor pieces that are particularly unappealing relative to other options. Like I can't imagine anybody choosing to make the athletic hat vs the enforcer glasses(?), and isn't there at least one other head slot item that gives +20% to all bartering for the quality 6 version? Maybe the set bonus for the athletic set is nice (I don't know what it is offhand), which would require the hat, but outside of that, what reason would anyone make the hat (other than to have it as a cosmetic)?

I don't recall TFP saying all the armor sets and bonuses were set in stone though, so perhaps they'll revisit and refine those later on down the road.

The set bonus for the athletic armor is use less food and water but by the time you can craft even q1 armor food and water isn't a problem. I don't find any of the set bonuses compelling, and I'd never craft the athletic hat for either the perk or cosmetic. I'll use it if I find it in loot and it's better than what I'm wearing but that's all. I'd prefer they just strip out all the bonuses, and have armor is armor - light, medium and heavy, no magic. Different styles are just cosmetic.
