Before you have access to protective textiles, heavy bandoliers can be useful for any colonist, including non-nudists. While a [[duster]] made out of [[cloth]] is unlikely to actually protect from bullets, a cloth heavy bandolier will at least make your colonist shoot faster. Keep in mind that bandoliers provide little insulation. If it's too hot or cold, you may want a duster or parka for daily use, even if all you have is cloth.

Before you have access to protective textiles, heavy bandoliers can be useful for any colonist, including non-nudists. A [[duster]] made of [[cloth]], [[wool]], or [[patchleather]] is unlikely to actually protect you from bullets, but a cloth heavy bandolier at least helps with firerate. Also note that bandoliers provide little insulation, while dusters and [[parka]]s are great against the heat or cold, respectively. For instance, it may be too cold for a non-[[yttakin]] to wear a bandolier in a [[Biomes#Tundra|tundra]].
By the time you have access to [[devilstrand]] dusters, [[flak jacket]]s, or equivalent, the argument for heavy bandoliers starts to wane. Damage causes [[pain]], which lowers pawn efficiency. Bandoliers can definitely be useful in situations where pawns don't get hit. It works well for [[kiting]]. In a [[killbox]], damage is often the main limiting factor. Even then, you'll often want to use a more protective piece of gear for your "essential" pawns, since there's always a chance of ''something'' going wrong.
 
  
 
The protection and insulation offered by the bandolier is almost negligible outside of high qualities and high tier materials. But the effect on cooldown is not affected by material or quality. As such, if only the {{DPS}} buff is required, the worst quality and cheapest material can be used to [[wealth management|minimize wealth]] and cost while still being fully functional.
