A piece of equipment that has appeared in _Vuelo Raso_ adventures is the
'Camisa Diplo', translated by Google as 'Diplo Shirt'. There was a
description that makes it more-or-less a bullet-proof vest that can be worn
_under_ other clothing, and when worn, doesn't really look like the person
is wearing the vest (unless you know them, and they'll be slightly bulkier
than normal).

(FWIW, there really is such a thing; some of the small-town PDs near NYC
use them, though the NYPD itself doesn't. If it's not covered, it looks
like a quilted vest, but the diamonds of the quilting each contain a small
piece of kevlar. The NYPD uses large panels of kevlar, no quilting, and you
can always tell when a police officer is wearing one under the uniform
blouse.)

I have the Mongoose 2ed Core Rulebook in Spanish, but not the 2022 update,
and not the 1ed, or any of the supplements. Can someone who has access to
other Traveller material in Spanish find this, or figure out what it's
likely to be in English material that I may not have yet?

So far, I've left it translated at "Diplo shirt", and nobody has written to
ask what it is. But I'd like to have the right item, if it's there...
