Type-23 Sangheili Stealth Harness

The, or Stealth Harness, is a lightly armored harness used by Sangheili Assassins and Pathfinders. Trading armor for stealth features, the Stealth Harness offers little protection, as it is composed of a form fitting alloy – little thicker than fabric – which is embedded with enough micro-solar cells and stealth field generators to create a continuous, near-perfect active camouflage field.

Because of the lack of defensive plating on the harness, two radically different forms of use have arisen for the stealth harness: the first, taking advantage of the harness' maneuverability, is the tactic of sneaking up and killing them at close range; at the other extreme is the strategy of using long range weapons to eliminate foes. Of course, both have downsides, the former having the lack of armor give the wearer a disadvantage should something go awry, while the latter method can be easily countered through heavy ordnance and counter sniping.
