Quick answer

The NBC Jacket is part of the Nuclear, Biological, Chemical gear set used for contaminated zones. A full NBC suit and respirator setup is needed for proper gas-zone protection, making the jacket important for high-value contaminated area looting. Its storage and insulation are not great for normal travel, so it is usually carried for gas-zone runs rather than worn full time.
