Repairer
.* This is true for most body armors/armored rigs, helmets and eyewear. Faceshields, additional armor and armored facecovers costs with armor repair kits are higher than with traders. The repair cost is changed with each trader level for Skier and Mechanic, LL4 having the best price. Armor repair kits are improved by upgrading the "Lavatory" Hideout module up to level 3 and increasing the Intellect skill. Mechanic is the trader with the best repair quality having high repair cost, the Armor repair kit has 2nd best quality but is the cheapest option for most gear. Also UHMWPE/Armor steel has almost the same repair quality with Armor repair kits as with Mechanic making it one of the best options for this material types considering the cheaper cost. Due to a bug regarding faceshields, additional armor, armored facecovers and eyewear which doesnt improve the repair quality when choosing any of the traders it is recommended to repair with Prapor to have the cheapest cost. Also because of this the specified items will appear not fully repaired and faceshields might still have their visual damage after repairing.

Material
UHMWPE/Armor steel materials have the best repairing efficiency, being 3 times better than aramid which is the 2nd best. Ceramic has the worst repairing efficiency for any armor/helmet, while Glass being worse than it applying only for faceshields.

UHMWPE materials are one of the cheapest materials to be repaired with the Armor repair kit.

Destructibility and explosive destructibility are only one of the stats used to calculate damage done to that type of armor material so it doesnt mean they represent exactly how good/bad any material is respective to each other.

Weapons can be repaired with Weapon repair kit, Prapor, Skier, Mechanic.
