Shorts
Cargo shorts that are ideal for exploring the great outdoors. More practical than elegant.
Notes
Shorts are a piece of clothing in the Clothes category, worn by your character to fulfill a practical role rather than a cosmetic one. They are crafted using the Shorts recipe and, as a clothing item, fit into the progression where better housing and food are the primary drivers of skill-point gain, rather than equipment. Since clothing does not directly affect your experience multiplier, your focus for faster progression should remain on a varied, high-tier diet and a well-furnished, low-pollution home.
