Mantles in Monster Hunter World are "Cloaks" players can wear on their backs that provide temporary buffs to their character. They provide effects such as camouflage or aggression, to remain unseen or to lure Monsters to chase after you into a trap. Below is a list of all known Mantles and their benefits.
A second Specialized Tool slot will unlock once you complete the quest Land of Convergence and fight the last Monster of the game (not counting DLC and Iceborne Expansion)

We really need an Assassin's Hood mantle +. Capcom missed the opportunity to upgrade it. They upgraded all the other collaboration equipment. All I want is to put slots on my fav mantle.

Suggestion: Put the decoration slot information for upgraded mantles on this page so the einformation is more readily available.

for the impact mantle, you have to do a tempered radobaan investigation & a tempered barroth investigation, then you unlock the quest, not 5 different threat lvl 1 investigations

I wish the challenger mantle didn't break In 3 seconds. I would love for the dragon to focus on me only while my team beats up on it.

"A Blaze on the Sand" is a 8-star quest, and not a 9-star quest.

Fireproof Mantle 7★ quest "A Fiery Convergence" showed up at The Armory for me after completing the 6★ quest "The Sleeping Sylvan Queen". No idea if there are any more quests tied to starting "A Fiery Convergence", but I thought I'd share that sense it seems pretty ambiguous how you actually start it.
