high-grade dermal insulation is a lower cost cybernetic which upon installation grants the user a +9 or 9% bonus to each of the four Elemental resistances.

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Can somewhat reduce the danger of certain enemies capable of heavy elemental damage, such as humors and gyrohumors
• Can be useful for traveling in locations with extreme temperatures such as Bethesda Susa and the Asphalt Mines

Disadvantages

• kaleidocera capes, kaleidocera muffs and kaleidocera krakows all provide a much higher increase to overall elemental resistance (+20) without taking up a valuable cybernetics slot.
• Does not provide a unique or especially difficult to obtain bonus.
• The Head, Body and Back slots are generally competitive, which can make the opportunity cost of installing less impactful implants very high.

Tips

Spoiler Warning: This article contains information normally only found in the course of advancing the main quest line.

• Becomes noticeably more effective if the user originates from Yawningmoon or Ibul. The innate +15 to heat or cold resistance castes from those arcologies are granted, is increased to 21 with the implant installed. Providing fairly substantial protection especially if found early.
• Can be used to reduce the damage of the multi-elemental Irisdual Beam possessed by the Girsh Nephilim.
• Melee-focused characters who generally do not need certain back slot exclusive cybernetics like gun rack or phase-adaptive scope may have an easier time finding space for high-grade dermal insulation or other utility implants such as intravenous port.
