What is the point of the Saiyajin battle suits?
As you all know, the suits were so weak, than someone as weak as Piccolo during the Radditz saga was able to punch a hole through it, and it was completely incinerated by Tenshinhan, who was only a fraction as powerful as Nappa.
Why wear a battle suit that offers zero protection against strong opponents, and even offers only minimal protection against enemies so weak, they would not be a threat to you if you were naked?
