Donning armor (Abdomen) contradiction in Low-Tech amd Low-Tech: Instant Armor
For donning armor as specified in Low-Tech and Low-Tech: Instant Armor, the values contradict for the Abdomen.
Low-Tech - RAW The same percentages can be used to calculate other figures; e.g., manufacture time (see GURPS Low-Tech Companion 3) and donning time (see Donning Armor, p. 102). Example: Leather, Medium: Don time for Torso is 30 therefor for Chest is (75%) or 22.5 (rounded to 23 seconds). Abdomen (25%) would be 7.5 (rounded to 8 seconds). Ok got it. Low-Tech: Instant Armor says the same rule except it lists that same armor for the Abdomen as taking 23 seconds. In fact all of the values for the Abdomen are the same as Chest. Is this an error or did I miss something?

It seems like a contradiction but I'm not sure if it's an error or if they thought those percent times were too slow and made them longer intentionally.

Wow I never noticed that before. It must be an error or I am going back to using Torso armor because I can put that on faster which covers the Abdomen as well in 30 seconds as opposed to 23 for Chest and then 23 for Abdomen.

Yep, should be 25% not 75%. Good catch; submit it to errata.

This isn't really a one-off, if you compare the individually listed times for several pieces, they're longer than the comparable % from whatever represents a full suit.
