Remove the armor, take the cloak off, put the armor back on.

Sometimes this fix does not work, mind that the cloaks and JDs take twice more space then their own to unmount, if you does not have it you can unmount it only at player base. Devs and admins were not kind enough to explain if this is a bug or intentional measure,

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

It is unintentional, but not fixable sadly. When you unmount stuff, the game will only allow you to do so if the item you are unmounting will fit inside your cargo hold at that time - it doesn't take into account that the device itself consumes cargo space. FL wasn't designed with that contingency in mind. Another side effect from adding things to the game that the original game never had...

As a workaround you can sell the item at any base, buy a basic CM, and then buy the cloak back. Since the hardpoint is occupied, it won't automount it then.
