Not heard of this piece of gear, sounds useful though.

Agreed. This looks like a 'training wheels' edition, that you can use to introduce someone to the setting, and then shift over to something like 5E or 4E. Like how D&D 5E is best used as training wheels for D&D 3.X.

Current edition favorites:
Armor: sleeping tiger with non-conducting 4, insulation and fire resistance 3, under argentum coat with ruthenium 4, thermal dampening 4, and chemical protection 6, for 17 armor (base), augments are titanium bone lacing and orthoskin 4. Add helmet with ruthenium 4, ultrasound and display link for a "Predator" worthy outfit.
Guns: either Ares thunderstruck gauss rifle with improved range finder and as much recoil comp as possible, or Barrett sniper rifle with same for long range, Ares alpha with gas vent 3, shock pad, and improved range finder for close range big gun, and Ares predator v with silencer and improved range finder for quiet work.
Augments: assuming delta grade, wired flexes 2, reaction enhancer 3, titanium bone lacing, orthoskin 4, muscle toner 4, muscle augmentation 3, cyber eyes 3 with flare comp, low light, thermo, smartlink, vision mag, and vision augmentation 2, cyber ears 4 with everything, olfactory booster 6, damage comps 12, and toxin extractor 6.
Melee: cougar fine blades, or (hopefully dikoted) katana.
Ground vehicles: Suzuki bike or roadmaster van. (Preferably both)
Air vehicles: gmc banshee
Ammo: apds or sns, depending on job

Spooky, what do you do this pass? Shoot him with my thunderstruck gauss rifle. (Rolls)  8 hits. Does that blow his head off?

Since Sleeping Tiger is from Vashon Island and the Argentum Coat from Mortimer of London, I don't see how they can be from "the same maker" to allow them to stack.

They can't. Also, couger fine blades even with the errata are still overall worse than a combat knife.

Hmm, will have to re-read the stack rules. I thought that custom fit stacks on custom fit, as long as both are custom fit to one character.

And of same maker, but it is easy to see the confusion.

Custom Fit (Stack) will stack on Custom Fit, as long as they're from the same line. So Zoë, or Vashon Island, or, or. No mix-and-match.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

Sleeping Tiger will stack with a Synergist Business Longcoat, but that obviously makes the selling point of the Sleeping Tiger (the ruthies) ineffective.

FFBA with YNT Softweave and Thermal Dampening 5.
Cyber Holdout Pistol (or holdout with quick draw holster if you're worried about Essence) with DMSO/Narcojet capsule rounds.
Forearm Guards with Auto-Injector and Biomonitor.
Some sort of silenced sidearm.  If Concealability is an issue, then probably a Colt Agent.
Distractions: smoke grenades, flash packs, pulse weave, etc.
Miniwelder.

I really like the Synergist Business Longcoat as an overcoat with the sleeping Tiger.  Your armor shoots through the roof and you still look like a pretty normal business-person.  You can stuff the coat in a briefcase (perhaps the one with the ares executioner) or leave it in the car, or just ditch it if you need to go invisible fast.  Either way, it's nice to be wearing a suit that provides as much armor as security grade.  And if you can get an "armored fedora" as a helmet, you're pretty much gold.

Know what I am going to do with some of my runners money that is left over.

Well, now that I have re-read the stack rules (drek!), I am going to have to go with steampunk with thermal dampening/nonconductive 4, and fire resist/insulation 3, under the synergist coat with ruthenium 3 and chem protect 3. For high class joints, sub out sleeping tiger with thermal damp 4, non conduct 4, and fire resist 2. Hate having to choose between armor and goodies! Oh well, maybe I can find out how to tweak armor even more with the armorer skill...

Just remember that each of these lines has a certain style that may not fit in to where-ever you're trying to go.

That's why I wanted the argentum coat, it and sleeping tiger are latest version. Too bad they don't stack.

Some of the special shot gun rounds from 3rd edition.   AV rounds sort of like APDS but twice as good.  Big D's Breath rounds were awesome too.  I also like the 3rd edition version of the Walther 2100, it got hit pretty heavily with the nerf hammer in 4th and I can't remember what it is like now.
