Stealth powers (that give defence) actually grant two defence bonuses. In the real numbers, they are combined, and no info on the suppression is given. In City of Data, they're listed separately; one is just +def, the other is +def with a note about suppression. There's usually two entries for each PVP and PVE. They are listed in the order the game itself stores he data, which means they are not often grouped in a logical order, if at all.|

In all cases I can recall, stealth powers give 1.88% unsuppressable def(all), and the remainder of their defence suppresses.
@Roderick
In general, 1/2 of the Defense from stealth powers suppresses. So it goes from 3.75% to 1.88%.
This varies by AT, though. A Tanker would get more Defense from a stealth power since his Defense modifier is higher. The idea that it is halved is pretty consistent, though.
One big exception is Stalker AoE Defense, which drops from 37.5% to 3.75% with Hide. This seems to be an inherent attribute of the Stalker. (It protects them from "splash damage" aimed at the tank while they set up their Assassin Strike)

Well, it does vary. Cloak of Shadows does not suppress its Defense at all. |

I was speaking in general.
