Life & Temperatures on Titan

Anyone think if it would be more plausible if I got rid of the DR 1 kevlar fabric, replacing it with DR 2 polymer-nanocomposite scale? About 1.6 lbs heavier and $101 more expensive, which is still within reason for nearly-all-the-time wear. (It even still falls into the realm of 'diaphanous as lingerie'.) Or maybe scale over an inner layer of kevlar?

Also, there seems to be a missing detail in Pulver's armor articles; they mention that heavier or lighter armour decreases or increases in LC, but doesn't mention what the base LC to adjust from is. Anyone know where I should look for that?
