The Arrow Suits (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)


 * For its updated version, see Green Arrow Suits (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis).

The Arrow Suits, formerly known as the The Hood Suit are a series of protective suits formerly used by Oliver Queen as the vigilante, The Hood and latter The Arrow.

Hood
The green hood of the suit originally belonged to Yao Fei Gulong to camouflage in the forest environment in Lian Yu. The hood was later given to his daughter, Shado after he was killed by Edward Fyers. Later, the hood was worn by Oliver after Shado was killed by Anthony Ivo.

First suit
When Oliver was in Russia, Talia al Ghul made him a kevlar-lined suit with the original hood. Oliver later used the suit to act as a vigilante before and after he returned to Starling City.

Upgrades
After Barry Allen visited Starling City, he suggested Oliver to wear a mask instead of putting on grease paint. Oliver replied that no mask will not block his aiming. Before Barry returned to Central City, he left a mask for Oliver that will not block his eyesight.

Second suit
When Barry's team visited Starling City, Cisco took a glance at The Arrow Suit and claimed he has so many ideas for improvement. Before the team left, Cisco showed Oliver the new suit that is made out of a polymer Kevlar weave; it was also 25% lighter and could carry 15% more gear.

Confiscation
The second suit designed by Cisco was latter confiscated by the SCPD and was later destroyed. As the original suit was intact, Oliver used the old suit again until his temporal retirement.
