the chest goes out the fastest bracers and biceps last the longest from my exp helm i think is 2nd the boots then leggings and gloves something like that if your only wearing a 4 pc. suit aka gloves/helm/boots/chest then the gloves wear out fastest i belive followed by chest

What are therelative rates at which each composite piece (helmet, body, etc.)loses condition from "typical combat"? And am I correct in assuming that these rates are related to protection value (i.e., the faster a piece wears out, the more damage it is absorbing for you)? Thank you in advance for answers.
That's true, sort of. Chests take the most damage so they wear out fastest. But a chest that absorbs more damage wears out slower than a chest that absorbs less (90% chest lasts twice as long as 80%). It doesn't make sense but that's the way it works.

One thing I have noticed is that on 4 piece sets the chest/gloves/boots decays at a very similar rate (within 5% of each other) and the helm decays at about half the rate... When using a full set then yes, the other chest decays the fastest as all the other 'hit areas' have multiple bits of armor to take the load.

decay rate for gloves/boots/chest=same for 4-piece
in 9-piece (fastest--->slowest): chest/pants/helm/boots/gloves/biceps/bracers
