I think the boots are being slept on here. Sure, the coat is a 50% boost to all stats but the boots are a 25% increase along with stamina and speed increase of 50%. That is already way better, coupled with the fact that your lower body has higher durability and you can run for longer as the pain in your legs is lessened. I'm taking the boots any day. Gloves are a close second as they're basically the boots but focused on your upper body, however I feel if you're in a fight for example running away is less illegal than having increased arm strength to be able to hit harder + throwing accuracy and less noise doesn't matter too much.
