Slickskin

Source Starfinder Armory pg. 85
Item Level 1; Price 300
Slots 1; Armor Type Light; Bulk L
This upgrade gives the armor a particularly slippery coating which is generally a combination of low-friction surfaces, long-lasting lubricants, and a redesign of surfaces to remove anything likely to catch on protrusions or be easily grabbed. Your armor grants you a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against grapple combat maneuvers and a +4 bonus to Acrobatics checks when using the escape task.

This upgrade can be installed only in light armor.
