tkISO

 A new item, a collab between [H]arsh and the people over at Thinkkink tonight.

 To be exact - Darien Caldwell did the mesh, the animations come form Daisy Creations, the hair from Damona Kanik, and the coding done by Ilana Debevec and  Chloe1982 Constantine.

 I've being asked not to call it a drone suit, but an ISO

 Appearance


 When you first put it on, you'll be smooth, shiny, and coated in white latex. You have a choice of 32 built in colours on top of that, and its mod, so you are free to recolour it to your hearts content using the RGB system.

 On top of that, its in a series of parts, so you can recolour individual pieces, like the head, faceplate, hair, etc, or via mod even turn them invisible. You'll need another Alpha if you do that, but allows you to adjust it to fit a lot of other pieces of gear if you so wish.

 However, you then have the option to switch to a materials textured outfit, by hitting the Seamed option. Aside from the faceplate, this then appears to be a nice, tight catsuit with attached openfaced hood, and is perhaps one of the best examples of how much a difference a materials texture makes. Seriously, people who leave materials off are missing out when it comes to stuff like this.

 Its fitted mesh, which will generally stick to your shape, buts its far from a flawless system still, so the alpha will more than likely be needed.

 Unlike most outfits of this type, this ones heels aren't ballet, and while still tall, and built into the suit, seem far more reasonable for the kind of long term wear you'd be forced to do in such an outfit. Quite a refreshing change. If you want ballets, well you can hide the boots via Edit, and adjusting transparency.

 You can hide the faceplate via edit as well, if you find a face only alpha, you might be able to get it to look quite good, though I have a few issues with my headshape, its still worth a try.

Function

 You need to wear both the suit and the hud that comes with it if you want to speak, a precaution to prevent issues such as the particle effect objects make when speaking. It also does not seem to block IM by default, as it should be. You'll also have a HUD pop up when locked in, to simulate the faceplate. It makes a not bad photoframe.

 The first option is Style, which is where you cover the stuff mentioned above, such as switching between seamed and seamless modes. Following that is Locking. In here are three options. Lock does as it says, Unlock as well, and as for Public.. well, you'll be in danger unless you are very careful. You'll be locked out of the menu completely, and at the mercy of anyone nearby. There's also Privileged which only appears if/when you add someone to that system via the Operators menu, covered below. This also locks you out of the menu, but only allows people added to the suit to access it.

 Restrict is a big menu. There are four submenus within, each related to a specific part of you. Talk lets you adjust how clearly you speak, as well as adjust the IM restrictions. It also adjusts emotes, but not by themselves, so sadly if you want to garble your speaking, your emotes will be garbled as well. This needs a fix

 Move doesn't hobble, but adjusts things such as TP, flying, sit, etc, and also has another submenu, Freeze. In here you can set a distance, and whether they need to be within a certain range, or far enough away. You get a 30 second window to fulfill the requirements, with gradually more and more restrictions, the last two of which are IM block and being unable to move.

 See adjusts things such as names, the map, etc, with a submenu for View which has a selection of windlight options that the captive will have to suffer through. Most are quite jarring, and make somethings harder to see, as you might expect. There doesn't appear to be a clear option.

 Lastly we have Touch which has three different menus inside. As you might expect, it has options for stopping far touch, touch self, etc if you choose to do so, as well as allowing or preventing you from adding clothes and attachments, and inventory related restrictions. When you activate a touch restriction, the gloves change into snug little mitts.

 As the wearer, your next menu is Timer, the classic, ever nice option. You can choose to add or remove via a couple of buttons at the bottom, anywhere from 5 minutes to.. 28 days. It has a second menu that allows you turn the timer on/off or pause it, as well as letting you swap between RL and SL time, and a restart option. Timer for 28 days.. 27 days and 23 hours later, your captor accidentally hits restart.. I'll leave your reaction up to your own imagination.

 The final menu is Operators, mentioned above. This is where you can add or removed "privileged" people who can access the suit at any time, locked or not. There's also a Banned list, which stops them ever access it, even when on public, an extremely handy option as far as I am concerned, and one more restraints should use.

 As another user, should the person be on public, you get two options when you first try to access it. Take over and Walk away. Both are self explanatory. You also have a Relinquish option in the locking menu, that leaves them stuck on public, but you no longer control them.

 Once inside, you have access to the first four menus covered above, as well as two new ones, Punish  and Rename. Punish lets you choose form three options, and torments the persons breasts, rear or "Da Monkey" as they call it. Its not a stretch to guess what area that is. They have some custom animations, of you clutching the afflicted area and rolling around, as well as some sound effects. Mostly zapping and muffled cries.

 Rename opens an input box that you type a name you want in, which will then appear as "ISO/<your text>". If a timer is running, you can only add to it, or Punish the wearer while its on public.

 As privileged, you can access at any time, as well as give more people access, ban people, change the lock type or relinquish it, freely adjust the timer, etc.

Other info

 I've being informed that updates are planned, for free of course. If it lacks something now, don't worry as it may get it added in an update soon.

My thoughts

 I like it. That's pretty much a given. Hopefully the updates will make the hood more functional with the faceplate hidden, to make it even more customizable than it is already. The *big* issue is that emote blocking when you garble. Lets hope that gets fixed quickly. Otherwise my only real gripes are the hair, when set to black, is more grayish, but is mod so not a major issue, and the IM block during freeze.

It costs 1199 Linden

RR Pretty Mummy

Many of you who actually know me, know my love for customisable restraints, mummification, tape and latex. And then Marine makes this. Be prepared for a LONG read, this may be the single most customisable restraint in SL.

Appearance

  Where to begin? There are four materials in here, latex, shrink wrap, tape and bandage. And these can be made transparent, thanks to good design and fitted mesh. There are alphas included for those that need them, though naturally you won't be able to use transparent with them. There are four main pieces that must be worn, the rest can be any of the materials above.. mixed up as well. You can also do fancy things, like make the bandage wrap appear to be nylon with some transparency and colour changes.

  They all have their own little quirks as well, the base bandage for example has a little bow just under the neck when your torso is snugly wrapped. The shrink wrap appears stretched, while the latex is perfectly smooth and seamless, sprayed on. They also have style menus, allowing for various changes to the restraint, such as uncovering the breasts or hands.

  Not all of it is rigged, so you may need to make some adjustments. They for the most part seem easier than the siren ropes however, which many will be glad to hear. You can also toggle between rigged breasts wrappings and unrigged, for if you use tangos or the like.

  In terms of poses.. You have eight for the upper body, and another eight for the lower. Pet, a leg based on, wil force your arms into Pony no matter what they may of been in originally.. and forces you to hobble along on elbows and knees, something SL hasn't had many options for in the past.

 Many of the poses have a load of extra options in the Style menu, letting you change, for example, the elbow only pose to be a full wrap around your upper arms, 1 strip. 2 strips or 3 strips. Elbows Only, Arms Tight and Pony have 4 extra styles, While the other options do not for the arms.

 Legs wise, you have Five styles for the hobble option (including a dress that can be worn without other bonds), tight, mummy, lie and mummy lie have four, Hogtie has six, frogtie and pet seven.

  The gag comes next, and is quite similar to the RR tape gag, though the Total is a lot stricter this time, with a full wrap around. They are also all one solid prim, so resizing one, even via edit linked, resizes them all, with the exception of the stuffing, which you can of course make bigger, push deeper, or both! You can even wrap the ears, complete with extra restrictions. Throw in the blindfold, and your head will be so snugly wrapped..

  The blindfold has a handy option that lets you cover the top of your head with it as well, for that full all over Mummy look.

 Of all the parts that will take you time to fit, expect the head to be the longest. Getting all of the prims to sit flush with each other perfectly can be quite difficult.

 There's also a pair of nipple pasties, and a crotch covering for good measure, both of unrigged mesh. You can also, if you tie without binding, get a dress like outfit, which is quite nice. Casual minidress.. turned into full out rubber cocoon. What more could you want?

 The biggest issue with all this, due to an SL limitation, all the materials are in separate boxes, and their own prim sets. Meaning once one is fitted, you need to refit all the others. Marine does have an option to make this a lot less hassle, covered below, but you may find some fine tuning is still needed.

 Due to SLs terrible wireskeleton, you may experience a few issues with the fitted mesh, especially on areas such as the breasts. Its unfortunate, but not something that can be fixed without a whole new avatar skeleton been made by SL.

Function

 The top two rows are always related to the binding. All the poses are here, the strictness of the gag and blindfold, etc. In the case of the arms and legs, two more poses are also in the More.. menu.
 
 Arms

  The six bondage poses occupy the top, then you have Untie, Last Plug, which is a shortcut to the last plugin you selected, Loosen/Tighten, when loosened, anyone can access the menu, while tightened they have to do a minigame to try and get in. Think expose and steal keys. You then have Tools, or Special, depending on whether or not you are bound. Tools lets you save, load and reset the restraint, or change it to a Male setting if you happen to be of that persuasion.

 In the Special submenu, you'll find Block, which stops the sub interacting with the environment, Mouselook to force them into first person, Autoref, which is auto refresh, helps to keep your poses from breaking. /77 allows you to turn on menu access via that channel. Alarm On/Off will turn on the domme alert should you cheat around the restraint in some way. Last plug appears again, as does Verbose, which if off, doesn't send messages to local chat. You can also find the Timer.. menu in here, as well as the Plugins button and Main to take you back to the menu.

  Timer.. Will take you to a timelock menu with a variety of options. You can hide the timer from others, and turn it off here of course. Whats more curious is how its down. Used by Marine before, instead of a preset option, you have a range per button, I.E 2h-6h, which will add anywhere from 2 hours to 6 hours to the captives timer. You do have standard options like +10mn as well, but its nice to see those other ones still around.

  Plugins.. has 3 pages for the Arms section of the restraint. The first is Control.. which has a ton of RLV related restrictions you can activate or deactivate. The follow up is Cover Hands.. which allows you to wrap the hands.Hitting wrap will apply all touch restrictions, if you then select one of the three other options in there, you'll remove that restriction. Keep touch self active if you don't want to get stuck.

  MummyTex comes next. In here you can select the Section to edit, a surface to also edit and the opacity and tint. Anim follows that, which allows you to setup and adjust all the animations.. or you can use the HUD for a much smoother, easier experience. Allow lets the person who enters it to make themselves exempt from IM or TP blocks. I.E the domme restricts IMs and TP for the captive, but also turns the exempt on for themselves. They will be abel to TP or IM the sub, but no one else will be able to.. Unless also exempt from a previous session.

 Marines usual Autolock follows that, with Style on the second page. There's another Touch restrictions menu next, separate from the hand wrappings. Unwear.. which lets you take their clothes or attachments off if you so wish, which Outfit lets you adjust what they have on, what they are allowed and not allowed to wear, etc, all done via RLV folders.

 RL time lets you change the timer to use a constant timer, even when logged out, as opposed to the standard one that runs down only when the sub is in world. Sit.. is a force sit option, with unsit and No stand options as well. Lastly is Wear, which lets you decide where the sub can wear clothing, and where they can not. (I.E no tops, but underwear allowed)

That about covers the arms..

 Legs

 To save space I'll only cover those options that Arms don't have.

 In Plugins.. You'll find a wriggle menu, to allow you to try and get into another pose. Then there's Cover Feet. This has.. a lot of options, regarding various heels you may have. Its actually a really nice system, allowing the wrapped to go over the heels without clipping. It has options specifically for SLink heels. You can have it wrap all the way to the toes, just over the ankles, or half way down your feet, with or without heels on.


 Gag

The gag works quite a bit differently to the arms, as you might expect. The gag levels make the gag much stricter, in both appearance and function. The max silences you, while the one just below makes you Mmmmph, the other two garble you to various degrees.

 Plugins has some differences again. The Gag RLV menu under it has a lot of options for punishing people who try to cheat, and a very handy option that stops the keyholder blocking your IMs if you dislike that kind of thing. It also has the Wriggle menu that arms lacks, allowing you to adjust your gag. Cover Ears is also here, which allows you to deny them local chat and IM hearing.. Lot of IM restrictions in this kit.

 Very Funny.. Is also in here, which allows you to write on the gag to various degrees, or put an Anime like emote face on it. An example Marine gave was to wrap the person head to toe, with hair free. Colour some black, the legs and head flesh colour, then apply a face with a blank expression.. Anyone watching from a distance would be unable to tell it was a real person. Very handy RP options there.

 Blindfold

  Lastly we have the blindfold. It has Six options for vision blurring, however if you hit just Tie, you'll get a faux blindfold as well.It also contains the all important Shape plugins. This will, when used, save the current size, rotation and position of all the unrigged prims for all parts. You can then undo say, the bandages, and put on the nylons, then load, to save time. You may need to do some minor adjustments, but should save a lot of work.

 My thoughts

 For the most part? I love it. It has a few issues, such as the Shape plugin not woking right for me, and an issue with the SL skeleton causing some odd ridges in the mesh, particularly on the breasts.

 But I love it still. It has so many options that SL bondage has lacked for so long, and the sheer variety of poses, looks and adjustablility this thing has cannot be overlooked. We even got transparent mummification as a possibility at last!

 The price is 1250, I personally say thats worth it for the sheer volume inside.
 

Fedotia's Drone suit

So.. a Drone suit.

Appearance

 Its an all encompassing rubber suit, head to toe, with optional very long ponytails. Can have up to three tails coming form your head, or none at all. These tails are also how you access the menu. It also has built in ballet boots.. It might be because of where they are located, but they seem lower quality than the rest, but that may just be the lighting not reaching them.

 In terms of customization, you have a few options. The three hair styles mentioned above, the option to switch between gloves and mitts, and 11 colours options for the body and hair. For the most part the shine isn't too strong, but it is not adjustable, so your mileage will heavily vary depending on your lighting settings.

Function

To begin.. Be careful. If you lock this on yourself, anyone else in the world can still lock it as well. And if someone claims you, then leaves? Well you're screwed and have to do a hard reset. (Log without RLV, reset scripts). So yeah. best not to go out in this without an owner you trust. Also when its locked, you get a randomly assigned drone name to replace your normal.

As the wearer, when you first click it, you can choose to lock it, or leave it be. The first thing that happens when you lock is you get a HUD that limits you to the center of your screen for vision. The KaS hood uses a similar system. I've included an extra pic of this at the bottom of the review.

A massive black mark - It blocks IM by default. This should ALWAYS be an option, and off to begin with. The second black mark? Emote blocking, with NO way to turn it off. Any long messages simply become something like "A-660 squeals"

Now then.. Menus. RLV is first, in which you'll find two pages worth of various RLV restrictions. Nothing out of the ordinary in here. Release is next, and is fairly obvious in what it does. Self Lock

Done is next, which closes the menu for other people to use without interference. IM follows that, with all of the IM restriction options inside it. As mentioned before, this should be off by default, but isn't, so this may be the first stop for many if you buy it. Outfit follows, which is another RLV restriction menu, which lets you adjust whether you can attach or remove clothes and attachments.

Gag is next. It has only one level open to the wearer, which means everything you try to say come out in Mms and mmphs, with Mute following that, which stops you talking at all. Lastly is Appearance, where you can adjust the options mentioned above.

When locked by someone else, you'll just get a message saying "You're locked by <name>, Be a good drone". If locked, but no one has claimed you, it states "You are free but locked. You have to wait for an owner that claims you."

Thoughts

 I have to be honest, I got a really bad first impression of this item. When I put something on, and instantly find my IMs not working? I get annoyed. Even more so when I can't emote properly.

  Been objective. Its not badly built, though I did notice some odd lines showing up under some lighting, uncertain if that was intended or not. I also would of liked adjustable shine.The impact that setting has depending on your actual graphical settings should not be understated, and always adjustable.

  I did like the gag and mittens at least, and the colour options weren't bad. But would I buy it for 800 linden..? Thats a tough one. In its current state, especially with that permanent emote blocker? I'd not buy it. Emotes are too important to RP to allow for such a thing.

You can pick this up from Tai Yong Labs on the Doll Works sim

S & S thoughts below

S one

"It doesn't really do anything better than what you could do before, and for people who like interaction and emoting rather than public restrictions, does things worse"

S two

 "This item seems to be targeted for those who get their enjoyment from RLV enabled toys rather than the interaction and roleplay with others. "

RF Bandage Wrap

New product in RFs mummification line, and yes, it includes a tape option.

Appearance

Now after the rope coil, which while not bad, weren't Katies best. I was a little wary, but I'd say right off the bat the textures here are much better, as are the options.

You get a HUD, as is standard now (and should be for all stores!), and includes 1 tape texture, and 10 bandage, as well as the RGB grid, shine, etc options.

Note - to change between tape and bandage, press the Tape On/Bandage On buttons, not just the tape/bandage texture.

In terms of poses, it has a fair few. 3 standing, including a knee knocked that reduce unwraps your lower legs, a nice touch. 3 sits, 4 lays, an immobile and 4 hogties. All of these work well, although the hogties aren't quite what I expected (legs tight, extra wrappings over.) The single strip looks a little weird, but is functional.

You can also choose to wrap the head, which includes blindfold, gag and ear plugging options, and the feet. Whats more, the gag and blindfold, and even the tape earmuffs, can be used without the rest of the wrapping, a very nice touch. They are unrigged for easier fitting.

Also? I kinda love that little walk we use in the Standsh pose instead of hopping

All in all, very well made.

Function

As always, take the keys before wrapping yourself, lest you get taped/bandaged up and unable to free yourself. Unless you want that anyway. While holing the keys, the first menu is the Style menu, which can be ignored really thanks to the HUD. Other people can of course use it, but in the long run, easier to just ask the actual wearer to HUD it.

You then have Leashing, which has the standard options (givepost/leashto/etc), followed by Plugins, With the usual suspects. If you still have the keys, the next option is Untie, a self explanitory thing. Under Timelock, you'll find the usual timelock and timebound option (Lock is normal, bound merely unties, doesn't return key). In Settings, you'll find the usual again, as well Fall Down on/off, which stops you falling from people walking into you or you overbalancing while hopping. Keys is next, give, ice keys, etc, all in there as usual.

Restraints follows this, and is pretty packed. You have 5 menus for accessing the poses mentioned before, 3 options for tightness, Katies rather nice system of adding restrictions, then you have Extra Wraps>, in which you'll find options such as Head, Feet (which wrap or unwrap the selected option), the gag, blindfold and earmuffs. The gag has Katies usual options, and is in truth a complete product in itself. Back int he main menu, you finally have  Unlock, which I doubt i need to explain.

If you are the sub, and don't have the keys, you get 4 options. Escape, which brings you to the standard RF minigame for wriggling free. (Select one of 6 options, get so many right until you get out, must rest every 6 or so. Struggle, which lets you try to wriggle into another pose, or tighten the restraints. Style, same as before, and Restraints. In this menu, you can freely go into a stricter pose, but must struggle to get into a looser one. This system was added with the rope coil I believe.

My thoughts

A HUGE improvement over the rope coil, and an obvious evolution of it to my eye. This product is just more polished, more options, cheaper and is just better in every way. I'm glad to see a return to form, as while the rope coil was by no means bad, it wasn't Katies usual level of quality. This? Far better.

Including a gag, blindfold and earmuffs, separate to the actual cocoon (thought requiring it to be worn) is a very nice touch, and greatly increases the usage of the cocoon, plus the options such as headwrap and feetwrap also add that little bit extra customisation that helps so much.

You may of noticed that we compare this a fair bit to the rope coil.. Which is not entirely intentional, but is similar in concept, if not execution.

Its 750 Linden

S & S thoughts below as normal these days

S one

• Could see herself buying this product
• Fills a void in the market
• All features she'd need
• Wishes it had wrapping progression
• Hogtie poses are a bit lacking 

S two

• Dislike menu system (and RFs menus as a whole)
• Scripts and plugins are as solid as ever, but also share same weaknesses as before
• Hogties aren't bad
• Look is excellent, what would be expected for a 2014 product
• Price is steep, but better

RF - Rope Coil

 New item from Katie, mummification as well, always nice

Appearance

  Lots and lots of rope is the easiest way to describe it.. From about the armpits, all the way to the ankles,you'll be encased in rope, with just your hands free. It fit me without much issue, but is rigged, and in only one size. I don't believe there is a demo available yet, so be cautious before buying if you have trouble with some rigged gear. There is, of course, alphas.

  The ropes have two textures, brown and white. The HuD however comes with a full RGB grid, for you to try and fine tune the colours. There's no where to input specific values however, so you'll just have to try and colour match as best you can with the grid. The hands have more textures, as well as a white setting, and what appear to be black latex. You can also adjust glow, which can be quite nice if done right.

  Its well sculpted, and doesn't distort when you move like some rigged mesh does. There's sadly no option to hide the hands, so you'll have them sticking out part way down the cocoon regardless. It has a fair few poses, 3 stands, 3 sits, 4 lays, 4 hogties, and a single immobile. Some poses are visually the same, but offer different restrictions. Like StandSh stops you turning outside of mouselook.

  It uses materials for shine, and if you want to adjust it via the HuD, need to do some extra steps. Edit the cocoon, click edit linked, select the cocoon itself, go to texture, select shininess (specular) from the drop down menu, and turn it off. This'll give normal SL shine options again. Also you can start a little struggly dance by typing /5 <intials>dance. (I.E /5 awdance for me). Only the keyholder and captive can do this command.

  I also found a rather large rigged mesh issue in some poses, and have included a pic of it to show what exactly it is. Lets hope that gets a quick fix. Its visible below.
 
 Function

  There's quite a lot in here, some of the usual RF stuff, some new. We have the style menu, which should really just be ignored, the HuD is far more effective to use. Leashing of course, with options for posts and holders, the many RF plugins and the fully functional RLV menu as well.

  Untie will show up if you are bound and have the keys. Timelock is there, with both the normal timelock and the timebound one. Timebound merely unties, but does not unlock the restraint, for those new to Katies gear (or my reviews of said gear.) In Settings you'll find a few things. The Crypto-lock, Expose, verbose, etc, and a new option, Fall down off/on.

  While hopping around, you can fall over, or be knocked down by someone. Hitting that will stop this happening. If you *are* knocked down, you can use the struggle system to assume a new pose. More on that below.

  Keys of course works as always. Be sure to take them before tying yourself up if you don't want to get stuck. In restraints, you'll fine the menu sub menus that lead to the poses mentioned above, as well as tightness adjustment, which works like Katies other recent gear, the tight, the more restrictions applied.

  When tied without the keys, you get a few menus. Style is there still, escape as well. Theres also restraints and struggle. Restraints works as normal.. But only if you go to a stricter pose, or tighter setting. You can't loosen it via this menu, just make it tougher.

  Struggle lets you switch to another pose by, yes, struggling. Depending on your current pose, the pose you want to go to, and the tightness, it'll adjust how difficult the struggle game is.

  My thoughts

 While I quite like it, and it had a larger variety of poses than expected, and struggling between them is a smart system. Only two base textures/colours, though the hud helps there I suppose. Including a latex texture for the hands was a very good idea as well of course. I'd like a couple more looks for it as well.. Say neck length, or the ability to hide the hands.

  It is 900 linden.. which is a lot. The biggest stumbling block may be that price for some people. And unfortunately textures aren't the best. Hard to say if I'd buy it normally. Some of it is really good, but some of it feels a bit less.. polished. The bug with the waist area of the rope doesn't help either.

  Also added here are a some points from other peoples opinions of the restraint, because mine alone is not always the one to go by, especially when the restraint is not rubbery. We'll call them the S and S opinions for now, until I am certain they are okay with name reveals.

• Well sculpted
• Texturework seems a little dated
• More poses than expected, though many are just rotations
• Wary of price
• Great for DiD play, uncertain for other forms
• Would like to hide hands

KaS Hobbledress

Salid delivers on Christmas. And its 60% off, so get it quick!

Appearance

  Amazing, is the words I will use for this. Some of the best mesh clothing I've seen. Amazing detail, lots of options, colour hud, plenty of sizes, and is structured properly. When the mittens are on, you can see them layered and buckled in place to the dresses shoulders for example. And I'm 99% sure it uses materials to add a gloss effect without even needing Shine on.

  I recommend anyone on the base SL viewer, RLV or Firestorm (and any other viewer with recent updates to materials ready) get on the bandwagon, cause this looks its best with it. Motion adds a lot of course, which I can't show here, but still.

  Its Hud allows you to adjust a lot of options.Various covers, the mittens, the sleeves when mittens are off, pretty much everything it  could need.

  You have three skirts, short, knee and long. Two sleeves, long and short, and I think can go with none. Mittens as well. Its comes in six sizes, the base one in the box, and five (XXS-L) in boxes should you need to fine tune it more.

  The only bad part? The long skirt currently clips with her ballet boots, for those that like the idea of making your captive (or self) barely able to take a step with even more difficulty than just one or the other. No doubt this will be sorted soon.

  Whats more, the Short and knee length ones could be used as just a normal rubber dress, they look great alone, without RLV needed.

  I'll leave the pictures to show off the best parts, because I'm not sure I'm the best to describe them. So much so that I am putting four instead of my usual three. Top right shows the long dress, with mittens. Top left shows the knee with short sleeves, bottom right shows the short and long sleeves, and last one shows the back of the dress, the white areas are removabled.

Function

  The other important thing of course. This uses a similar touch system to the corset, a hidden box around your waist for ease of access. The first menu allows you to lock it, lock its current style (colour, etc), lock the AO, set a timer, etc. Everything you need to keep yourself or captive tottering around. The second is the owners menu, which is standard KaS fair. Add, emergency, and current if you have any.

  The next is mittens, for when you strap that extra layer over your arms (or the captives!). They allow five separate options for touching. Close touch, no world touch, others attachments, own attachments (bar dress), and self touch dress. Allows for some customising of your (subs) dexterity.

  Openings is a rather nice set of options. It lets you hide the undersuit in various areas. You can hide the torso, butt and legs, so yes you can have them fully covered in two layers of rubber, with their rear exposed for whatever evil things you wish to do.

  In the next menu, you adjust the hobble, the key part of the dress. You can turn on the walk AO, the walk type, which has three kinds, and a random option to change as you go. Slow Walk, which does what it says on the tin, and lastly Stand AO, for when stationary, which your probably will be a lot in this outfit.

  Lastly we come to options. You can adjust the chat command for the menu here (default is /7dress) for use when the following option Use Chat, is enabled. Its off by default. The ever important update button is there, for when Salid decides to make this thing even better. The reset option and the very handy auto-alpha system. Once enabled, and if you have the alphas from the marketplace in your RLV folder (see below), then you can alter the dress style with much less hassle, no alpha juggling needed.

My thoughts

  Right now, until the 29th I think it is, its 60% off. Buy it. Tell your friends to buy it. Tell strangers to buy it. This is the only hobble dress in SL currently worth owning. Do I need to say more? Its currently 335 linden.

Link for the alphas - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/KaSHobbleDressAutoAlphaLayers/5614534 Just drop em in the RLV folder as they are, and away you go.

Rf Mesh hood

A new hood on the market, always a nice change.

Appearance

  A pretty customisable hood all in all. Leather, latex and 'Others' textures, with a HUD for easy mixing up handily. It has all of Katies usual textures, as well as four especially for the optional hair. You can do some other minor edits to the appearance via the HUD, like changing it to close via laces, zipper, or none at all, add or remove cat ears, and the optional hair. You can of course adjust shine as well. (enable screen space reflections in your viewer for best results).

  The hood itself has a fair few different looks. Monk, which is open face, Maiden, which blinds, but leaves lower face free, Bane, which is smooth all over and a bit thicker, Full, which is like bane, but with the head harness still on, and less bulky, Gwen, the classic mouth covering style, and tattler, which is just your mouth, nothing else. It has a built in blindfold and gag that can be applied, and earmuffs, but they have nothing visible this time.

  The gag has two styles, Panel and Ball. Oddly the ball is displayed even if the hood is put on full or Gwen, making it clip badly. Panel is fine for that setting.. but ball? Bane hides it. The panel also must be very tight, as you can quite clearly see the impression of a ball, or something of similar shape, under the tight gag. Also when a gag is worn, the hood stretches a little to accommodate your widened mouth, a nice little touch, similar to one the KaS hood uses. Lastly you can hide or show the head harness and collar as you like, via the restraint menu.

  Unfortunately fitting this thing was a pest. The built in resizer is just no use if your head is not the exact shape of the hood. The only thing that I took longer fitting than this would be the siren ropes.

Function

  Without keys, you as the wearer will have access first to the Plugins Menu. In here you'll find all of the usual suspects, including the sadly not so great resizer,  the ever fun RF plugins (mannequin, catatonic, etc), a fully function RLV menu, sound adjustment, and can deny style change while locked.

  The Style menu si next, and is very bulky. Its far, far easier to use the HUD that comes with it, which I highly recommend. In the style menu, you can freely adjust any single piece of the hood, by going through submenu after submenu.. Or use the HUD to select and change that same piece in seconds.

  Sign is a staple of Katies now. A long list of gestures for your avatar to use to try and express themselves, presumably while gagged. RLV off follows this, with settings bringing up the middle option. Settings is the same as always, Verbose, Expose, update, etc.

  The following option is Leashing. This hood has two leash points, One on the collar, and one on the top. Next up is Take keys, which I'll get to in a minute, then restraints. Lock is the last option.

  If you lock it without keys, you can still unlock it this time. Not quite as cruel as some of Katies gear in that regard. The restraints menu is quite full. You can change the gag type, the hood type, alter the strictness of the gag, as well as what kind of garbling the Pet setting uses. (Mmphs as human, mewls as Kitty, etc). The blindfold has three settings, (faux, half, full).Curiously, you can hide the blindfold even when blinded, which makes sense for the eye covering hoods.. but makes me wonder if dark contacts are used for the open eye ones. Has RP potential for those that want to use blind effects, certainly. Earmuffs, is similar, three settings, all the same as blind.

  Once the keys are taken, the menus rearrange themselves a bit, and a new one appears, timelock. As usual, Katie has split this in two. One that fully releases the hood, and one that merely releases the restrictions, but leaves the hood snugly locked in place. You also get the keys menu. In here you can adjust various things like the master key, sec owners, etc

  Being awhile since I covered them, so adding them here. The crypto-lock, if you succeed in activating it after doing the mini-game, makes the hood inescapable. Katies good old system, the Ice Keys is here as well, always fun since she started using them ohh.. over a year ago? They are pretty much a temporary set of keys that last a set amount of time, before 'melting', and thus losing the holder access to the restraint.

My thoughts

  I like this hood in terms of looks. Plenty of variation. Fitting it was a real pest though, especially the ballgag, which was slightly too high for my mouth. I had to cam into my head to finally be able to edit it individually. Creators (not just Katie) seriously need to invest some time in letting us adjust stuff by X, Y and Z axis individually, not just all at once.

  I can see this getting a lot of use, simply because of all the variations, which is starting to feel like Katies speciality to me. Lots of different looks and types built into one product. Would be handy for kidnap like RP if you could hide it though.

  Price is 600 linden.


  As of next review (or maybe edited into this one), I will be adding a "Would I buy it" bit at the end of the review, which will also have two other peoples input. Might help things along a bit.

D&B glass cage

  A remake of a very old cage that used to be at the Bondage Playground, pre-RLV tonight, done by Mija Perfferle, who collabed with Dari on the TeasingTUBE.

Appearance

  Its well.. a large glass box, held together with metal supports, with a cutout on two sides showing the letters BP. Appearance wise, it can be adjusted to 70 different colours, which can have various effects added (6 to be exact). Isolation makes it a solid black box.. with the BP still cutout, allowing light and sound in, and letting them see out.. Not very isolated?

  You can also change the colour of the leash holder, or hide it completely. The frame has five colours to choose from. Adjust pos is also there, and can save up to ten different peoples poses inside it. Maybe not so good for a prison like sim with lots of prisoners, but quite nice just to have that option in the first place. You can also add your own poses to it.

  Also you can send Mija a request to get other letters cut out instead, at a possible extra cost

Function

  If you touch an empty cage, two menus appear. Options, and open/close door. In options you can adjust the intial timer, update it, adjust who can access it, change the appearance, reset it, and turn on the trap.

  The trap is simple, someone walks in, cage closes, sub is caught. Dommes can of course abuse this qute easily.

  Once someone is trapped, a third option appears, which is take control. This adds a fair few extra options. Open door reappears, which pauses the timer, but doesn't release the captive, allowing the domme to make some.. personal adjustments. Options is the second button, but already covered.

  Third is timer, which lets you add or remove as low as 1 minute, or as much as 1 day at a time. The next is called AFK test, and I kinda like this. It lets you choose a punishment, then displays an option for the captive, who then needs to press the right button. If she fails, the time is added. Whats more fun? The tease option, which does the same as above.. except doesn't give an option that is correct, so the sub always fails.

  Following this is Release, which does what it says on the tin, followed by the poses menu already covered. Adjust pos is next, also covered above. Last is an RLV folder browser.. than doesn't work if a folder has more than 24 characters.

  The captive themselves can access the adjust pos menu as well, which is handy.

  RLV wise, it enforces no Unsit, no TP, no Map, and no fartouch (1.5 meter and more away)

  For prisons, it has a staff list NC inside that you Can add an avatars UUID to, which will give them access to the menus regardless of setting I believe.

My thoughts

  Its quite a nice idea, and it is well made. Uncertain if it has materials stuff like the TeaseingTUBE Mija worked on previously (no materials in firestorm yet, forgot to ask when speaking to her). Its well made certainly, and has plenty of customising.

  The tease option is fun, but as my helpers pointed out, if you are left alone locked in this cage and its on? Yeah, not nearly as much fun. We also found that after the first few times, it might wear a bit, so should be used sparingly lest it become boring.

  The prices are.. 999 for the trans version, which does not have guaranteed updates for life, and 2499 for the copy version. I'll refrain from commenting on the price myself.

DSS Saddletree

New store tonight

Appearance

 Its a wood post, with a fancy, metallic bump section conveniently located just where a captives crotch would lie. The textures pretty good, and it is mesh, which helps. There's a handy shock wand hanging on the front as well.

 Adjustment wise.. There's nothing. You can't changes its looks via any menu. You can via edit, but that would require custom textures, unless you just want to add shine or recolour it.

Function

 Lets begin. We have three options, Scan, which searches for people to capture, Self bondage, which tries to nab the person that clicks it, and settings. Settings lets you adjust who can access, the range of the scanner, the volume, and the self bondage timer. You can also hit help for access to a web page explaining how to use it (as opposed to an NC).

 Now scan/self bondage are important. You can't sit on this thing, you have to be captured. Which of course means you must have a relay, but those are easy to get. It also only allows one person in its menus at once, not that unusual.

 Once captured, the menus fairly simple. volume controls, release the victim, and timer adjustment. That's all.

 Now then, this things party piece is the shock wand. You click it, hold your mouse down, move to the targeted area, then click again. the wand will zoom up and zap them, right where you click. Anywhere on their body. You can even chain zap with it, if you click fast enough.

My Thoughts

 Its a fun toy, and very good for a first release I'd say. I'd like appearance options, and maybe some RLV options would be a good addition. Its not that the menus lack anything its just that they seem.. Well bare, very few options. Using a web page instead of an NC is fine, but like

I've said with KDC stuff, you do get people who can't be bothered with that. That's of course not the creators fault, but still, and this thing has nothing too difficult to figure out. Though I say that, no doubt many will struggle with the shock wand, but that's just the way people in SL are I suppose.

All in all, a pretty good device, especially for a first one.

You can find DSS on the marketplace - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/64862

[h]arsh - Teasing TUBE

The tube is meant to be in all caps. Anyway! New piece from [H]arsh, uses material viewer stuff as well to make the textures have more depth. Right now I have no idea if Firestorms latest (4.4.2) has materials or not, so I can't compare it with and without.. but regardless.

Appearance

 So.. Its a glass box held up by four legs, with a metallic frame holding it all together. The large opening at the front happily lines up with your captives assets. I think you can tell the intent of this glass cage without much effort!

 In terms of adjustment, you can retexture the metal, as well as adjust how bright it is and its colouring. The glass can also be recoloured, have its shine and glow settings changed, and its transparency. You can set this last one to 0 to leave the captive unable to look out, with only the hole for light.

 It also has six poses, all of which can be adjusted, position wise, separately via the options menu, covered below.

Function

 So lets begin.. When you first access it with no one in, you'll have three menus. Scan, which will look for relays to nab people with. Door, that opens the back pane for people to walk into it, and options. Inside options you can set up an auto trap, which will scan (within the range you set) and nab anyone it can.

 There's also Release time, that's the initial timer, you can adjust it after capturing as well. Set to 0 for normal locking. The next option is scan range, mentioned above.. Then appearance, covered above

 Last two options are Update and access rights, letting you choose between the owner, group or public.

 When someone is inside it, the first option is release... Then you have timer adjust. You can add up to 60 minutes at a time with it, or take away 20 at most. If you set it to 0, it will count as normal lock, and will stay locked till someone releases. The third allows you to remove clothing on all layers, little by little. The fourth option is a fully functioning RLV folder menu, always a nice touch.

 Anims is next, covered above in the appearance section. The options menu allows you to adjust both avatar position, and where those all-important holes are, a very nice feature. Saves resizing the box for different size avis. Each pose has to be done individually, which can be a little annoying. The holes can be moved by a large amount at once, whereas the captive can only be done a tiny notch per press. Whats missing? the option to adjust appearance. Seems to only be doable while unlocked.

 You can also set a secret word here, which is sort of a safeword. If someone enters the word on channel 33, it releases the captive. Anyone can say it. Its a nice failsafe. For those wondering, the device is copy/no mod/no trans. So throw them out all over! Though it says no mod, you can adjust the size axis as you need to.

 Lastly above the front pane of glass is the victims name, while below is how long they have left till freedom.

My thoughts

 Its a Dari product, done in conjunction with Mija Perfferle, so quality is expected, and it is received. Its design is nice, simple to adjust, has plenty of options, and allows for groping. Whats not to like?

 The only issues I have is the pose adjustment, options to adjust by a larger amount per click would be nice, similar to how the holes have two options for smaller or larger adjustment. I also wish I could change the appearance of the box while a captive is within it.

 Also some chains might be nice, forcing the captive against the glass, and naturally putting them in a more vulnerable pose for whomever is doing the teasing! That's not a major thing though.

 All in all? I like it. Its copy as well, which helps.

 Price is 499 linden.

RF Mesh Kneeler

I'm not dead! Yet. Being a busy month and a half, and not that many releases to cover. I do have a couple of items I was sent that I need to do, sorry to the person who sent me them for not having them done yet.
Anyway! Lets get on with it.

Appearance

     A kneeler, another strict restraint that works great when done right. This one appears to be done very much right. Its unrigged mesh, so easy to fit if you need to make adjustments. You climb into it, legs folded up, then the zip/laces are done up, sealing you in from the waist done. You can also apply a harness of straps over the top if you just want to make them feel completely helpless.
 
     The style menu has the usual half ton of options that we expect from Katie. It also includes her style hud, to make life much easier and quicker. You can also adjust the closure type. Zip, laces and.. none. None almost makes it look like you may of being sewn into it, which is evil (and fun.) Oddly the hud started way off screen for me, but that's an easy fix.

     Much like her armbinder, the textures seem to look much better than they did before, which is always good. The same ones as usual are available, with some extras for the soles. Lastly there is a crawl animation if you try to move. Going by it, the restraint is very strict!

 Function

     Lets get onto the meat of this thing then. The first menu is Style, which doesn't need covering, bar for the Use Alpha button. Turn this on, and if you have the folders setup right in RLV, it will auto attach/detach the alpha for you. Saves time, hassle, and helps if inventory blocked.

     Leashing is next. You can get posts, handles, etc from here, adjust length, etc, as well as choose to leash it to the front of back of the restraint. (or both). Following this is the plugins menu, with the usual suspects from RF, including an RLV menu, a resizer, and of course the RF specific scripts like Catatonic and Mannequin.

     If you have the keys, the timelock menu is next. The usual options in here, timelock and timebound, etc. Following that, in the Settings menu is the usual stuff, Verbose, update, etc, and the Crypto-lock which makes the restraint inescapable.. If the person can do the mini-game that is.

     The keys menu is the same as always, and after that is Restraints. Like the armbinder, it has three settings. Tight, Tighter and Tightest. Tight and Tighter let you crawl around slowly, while Tightest immobilizes you. You can also add or remove the harness straps. The last button is lock, or unlock, depending.

Closing Thoughts

     I quite like this, its one of those things you don't see very often, and coupled with a straitjacket or armbinder, it can look very effective at holding you (or your captive) securely. Have to admit to hoping this might mean there's a full out legbinder on the way as well though.

     The good? Well its got plenty of customisation, looks good, and compliments the other RF mesh pieces quite well.
     The bad? The crawling anim could use some work, the inbuilt resizer only allows straight scaling, not axis resizes.

Price is 350 linden, seems reasonable to me.

Marines Goodies - Treadmill

Another one from Marine, intended to be reviewed much earlier. ah the joys of RL. This one is Gord inspired as well!

Appearance

  Its a nice little treadmill, and unlike the mousewheel, can be kept in open view without bringing suspicious glares down upon you. It has all five. walks from the mousewheel, plus a new one called Puppy, that has you crawling along on all fours. As you'd expect, all the animations are well done, and of course the actual treadmill itself is well made, right down to its anims.

  Like the mousewheel again, it has ten different colours, plus custom, to allow it to fit any theme you like. Certain poses also set up a frame around it, with a harness to help hold the sub up. Naturally. All of it is well put together.

  One issue - on the latest firestorm you can't use height offset anymore, and the hover option in edit shape is too clunky to adjust on the fly, so if you end up hovering above the tread, or somehow under it, then you can't do much. Marine will likely address this issue as and when we get a definite removal of height offset altogether, as other viewers sitll support it.

Function

  This thing works pretty much identically to the Mousewheel. Hitch and unhitch to force sit/stand, config to change which walk anim, Maintenance to do.. well maintenance, such as updates, adjusting access, etc.

  It also carries the zapper, which works the same. Captor sets up a speed the sub must go at, if they go too slow, then zap.Curiously, also like the mousewheel, you still need to manually walk. I know why you do, but on a treadmill, well those things usually move themselves do they not, forcing you along with them?

  On that subject. It, like the wheel again, can be used to power lights. An army of subs in wheels and on treadmills powering your household is of course possible. Whether they are willing or not is, of course, up to you.

  Lastly it has the distance counter, same as the wheel again, it tracks how far the sub has gone. Combine it with the zapper, and you can force them to go very long distances indeed.

Closing thoughts

 As promised, no scores. Whats the point after all, if people just stare at numbers without actually knowing what the item does?

 I like this, though it is very similar to the mousewheel. By no means a bad thing, and of course, its copy/mod, so you can lay plenty out, and its a good investment for sim owners, or people who have lots of sub friends they want to manipulate into powering their house.

 So.. the good? Simple to use, responsive. looks good, not that expensive
 The bad? If you're on firestorm, floating/sinking issues, if you have someone constantly changing config, then folder spam.
 The.. Neutral? Very similar to mousewheel, down to you if you want both, or one or the other.

Oh, and its 500 linden.

As a minor addon - those boots in the last pic are KDCs new pony boots. They don't have any locking or restraints, so naturally I can't review em, btu they look good, so mentioning them regardless.

Amelie Barbour - Big Ball Gown

A new piece from Amelie. This one is not out at the time of this review, so subject to change of course.

Appearance

I do not know where to even begin with this. Its very.. Unique. Inflation/balloon bondage lovers will probably like it though. Its a huge rubber dress, with the skirt design being.. Interesting. The faces around the edge almost make it look like some subs are sealed within. When inflated, well the bottom balloons out, forcing the wearer up into the air, unable to move. There's some animations included, such as a wobble. You can also rock back and forth in various directions using your movement keys.

There's 12 colour sets. 6 hard, 6 soft. The top is quite bulky (presumably thick rubber?), and certainly will make most people seem to have a far larger bust I imagine.

I.. I'm just gonna leave this one up to those that read it, its too far out of my field for me to accurately comment on.

Function

Uses Amelies usual lock system. Anyone or single key. Anyone means everyone bar the wearer, single key means the key holder (can be the wearer). Once the choice is mad,e you can choose to Inflate, adjust the appearance or Leave it be.

Once inflated, you get access to the main options. Specifically Don't Free (closes menu), Wobble (makes you rock around), Turn left/turn right (does what it says on the tin), Free (duh), Appearance and Timer. Being inflated also restricts far touch, TP (others can summon you still), fly, locks the alpha layer and touch other.

And that's it for the functionality

Scores

Appearance - I can't rate this.. Its out of my ballpark. (no pun intended)
Function - Basic, nothing special, but nothing missing either. It works - 6/10

Price - Tentatively 795, subject to change by release.

RF - Armbinder

RF has released a new armbinder, and its quite an interesting one.

Appearance

 First thing worth noting, Katie has included a new Style HUD. Its a fairly simple one, but works well. Can select each texture/colour combo for each piece without the need to menu dive. Also includes the RGB grid that so many use these days that I still say is the best, so glad more stores are using it. Currently however it does NOT have access to the Others set of textures, which include some fun ones, like zebra stripes, tartan, etc.

 Onto the armbinder itself. Its actually really quite nice. About elbow length as opposed to the more common mid-upper arm design we see in SL. While the textures are Katie's norm, they seem to fit the armbinder better than most of gear, I'd say this things textured very well. It includes an optional chest harness and crotch strap as well, for added security. The crotch strap seems especially evil. A belt around your waist, then the crotch piece itself going down and being attached to the armbinders ring, meaning you yank on your restraint.. You get the idea

 You can also hide the handsack. This does NOT rez your hands back however, and instead adds a pair of mesh hands instead, which can be recoloured to match your skin of course, and the fingernails can be done separately as well. You can even recolour the hands black (or colour of your choice) with the RGB grid and add shine to make seem somewhat latexy.

 It has Katies normal textures, 10 latex, 10 leather, 10 fingernails, 5 preset skin and 9 Others (accessed the old fashioned way via the style menu in the restraint). Its unrigged mesh, so easy to manually resize, or use the plugin in the Plugins menu. 39 sub anims this time.

Function

 The usual warning, do not lock it without taking the key first unless you want to be helpless

 To be honest, its pretty much the Transport jacket again with some small differences. First menu is Style again, second is leashing, which has an additional option of letting you Leash to the wrists, or to the front (if harness is on). Plugins includes a resizer, though its easy to fit this manually if you know how to edit prims to any extent.

 Sub anims is next, the timelock/timebound system following that. In the Settings menu you can adjust whether or not the harness appears when you aren't restrained.. Keys is the same as ever. Restraints has a few extras. You can Hide/show the crotch strap, the harness and the handsack here. It uses the Tight/Tighter/Tightest system again, each one adding more touch restrictions. Last is unlock. I do not need to explain that..

Scores

 Quality -   It looks good. Different enough to others to make to add to the appeal - 9/10
 Function - The usual from RF, works well, some little extras. style HUD is very nice to see - 8/10
 Price - 500. I think that's cheaper than others on the market? Don't quote me on that.

KDC - Chastity Belt

So, a new toy from KDC

Appearance

As you;d expect from KDC, visually this thing is high quality. It also has a colour hud that lets you fully adjust it to match whatever else you have on, (or to make it stand out more if you're a humiliation, etc kinda person)

It DOES have poses built in but.. Well the function section will explain. Its mesh, in two pieces so you can adjust the waistband and the crotch area separately for a better fit. Each of the rings around the edge can have chains linked to it if you have other TouchBound gear (KDC cuffs to be exact), and you can use the fingerprint lock included to lock each ring, making a padlock appear.

Function
 
So.. How to put this. First things first, DO NOT BIND YOURSELF TO THE FINGERPRINT LOCK, at least not if you bought this to have your owner lock it on you. Also if you want public play? You have to go buy one of the more conventional padlocks from KDC.

All of KDCs gear uses touchbound these days. You click the lock (finger or normal), click the ring/area you want to lock, and its locked on. If you click say, a ring, then one of her cuffs, it'll chain them together. However, if you do not own any of her cuffs, the belts mostly visual only. Which is why there's so few pics for this one, I don't own any of her cuffs.

Her key system is.. fairly simple I think. If you buy the normal padlocks, you rez them, accept an unlinking permission, you can then take the key and padlock. If you rez them on the ground, anyone can use them, whereas if you wear them, only you can. Unlike the fingerlock, you need to use both items. The padlock to lock things, the key to unlock. Its a simple system, and it does work (I know I said before it was horrible), but I still feel a lot are gonna make mistakes with it unless they read up first. Lets hope this review helps with that.

So, long story short. Belt has poses. Poses can only be used if you have KDC cuffs. Fingerlock can only be used by the person bound to it. Do not bind self to fingerlock if you want it for someone else. Buy padlock if you want more public access.

My thoughts

Its a good looking belt, and the hud allows for plenty of customising, so both pluses there.

I want to try and like touchbound. Its concept is great, but the documentation on its usage is all on KDCs wiki-like page, and most SL users in my experience aren't gonna go shooting off to a webpage to learn this stuff. Hell most of them don't even read NCs in world that come with toys.

Touchbound is a nice idea, but the key system is my major fault with it I suppose. For photoshoots, or D/S play between two long term, it;ll work fine. For those that like spontaneous bondage or sudden RP? Its gonna have some issues.

Scores
Appearance - Unable to fully rate, was unable to see poses - 7/10 based on looks alone
Function - Good in theory, but needs.. Something to ensure people don't mess it up - 5/10
Price - 400 Linden

RF transport Jacket

New release from Katie at RF tonight, a different kind of straitjacket

Appearance

Transport jackets tend to be sleeveless straitjackets, and apparently are the easiest to escape form if you aren't otherwise tied up underneath.. Or strapped in extra tight over the top, kinda like this one. It appears to made of very thick canvas/latex/leather depending on your choice of texture, with the straps adding ab it more definition, you can see what I resume are the arms making the material bugle lower down. I think the upper form is self explanatory. There's no crotch strap, but Katie says the pantie area works as that so.. Must be *very* tight/thick down there!

There are 9 canvas textures, 10 latex, 10 leather, with the ability to add a few more of you own if you want to. You can freely recolour/texture pretty much every part individually which is nice. White it only has one restraint pose, its not the type of restraint that needs many.. Though maybe having the arms behind as an option would be nice.

It comes with 40 sub anims built in as well, one up on the 39 that the mittens had. The jacket comes in 7 sizes, being rigged mesh, and has an unrigged collar and handles (more on these below) that you can adjust. Also has a click helper (invisi prim over the body) for easier menu access.

Personally I like this things looks.. I am starting to wish that Katie would add a few darker shades for her latex though, blood red instead of bright red for example!

Function

Lets see.. Its got most of the standard RF formula in it. First menu is style, second is Leash. Plugins is next, with nine of the usual RF suspects, including the RLV menu, catatonic, etc. Ignore the bit stating that there are two pages, that's a known bug.

The Sub anims menu is the first one of the next row, fairly simple. Go in, select pose, hit release when you want to stop it. Timelock is split in two, as is usual from RF these days. Timelock to completely free the person, keys back, etc, timebound to merely untie them, but leave them still without keys.


Settings does have a new option - Grab. With the jacket come two handles, mentioned above, that should be attached to the middle straps. These effectively work like a leash, with a bit extra. Someone can Grab you, then you can get a struggle minigame. If you fail it too many times, it presumes your captor is too strong for you to escape from, and leaves you helpless in their grasp. Otherwise the usual menus in here, Expose, Verbose, etc.

The usual key menu is next, with Restraints following. While the options in here have no visible effect (shame! Having the straps visibly tighten would be nice), each level of tightness further restricts you touch capabilities. Tight stops you touching others, Tighter takes away far touch, and Tightest takes away touch world. If you are the domme/keyholder and want to take away touch self, that's in the RLV menu.

Last is Lock/Unlock. I sincerely doubt I need to explain their usage.

Oh, and a warning! Don't lock/strap it without the key unless you want to be helpless. You can't free yourself if you do.
