What he's getting out of still a structured one piece suit made out of ballistics fabric and Kevlar. It's made to be moved in, but it has limited to no stretch or slip.

He grunts in acknowledgement of that remark, because sleeves but: "Think that just means there's a heck of a lot of contrast in your life, too." Says the man who's finally gotten the hard part done and is peeling off tactical gear and pulling on those pants.
He feels kind of vulnerable, but not because he's letting himself feel tired. The vulnerable there is way more to do with the thigh to ankle exposure of his legs. It's still a physical relief. "If patrolling is a thing you regularly do, anyway."
