Reading the numbers
Each set also stores an hp field (Creepy Armor 150, Bone Armor 40, Lizard Skin 20, Stealth Armor 20, Deer Skin 10, Warmsuit 40). The files do not say what it stands for, so it is not used in the ranking.
The stealth and flammable figures belong to Stealth Armor only; cold armor is stored for Deer Skin and Warmsuit.
