 Leg and body armor made from the exoskeletons of insects. Light and durable. 

This is a heavy clothing item made of chitin, which covers 95% of your legs and torso, and which has no storage capacity. It is extremely bulky, encumbers you a bit, and will keep the areas it covers barely warm.

It offers moderate protection against bashing attacks and high protection against cutting ones (that includes bullets), while offering no protection from environmental hazards.

It has no extra particularities.

This clothing item can not be repaired, fitted nor reinforced.


Notes

Low encumbrance for a body armor. Offers good cut and bash protection, but a bit less bash protection than plate armor. Great for light but protective armor. Material should be easy to get by killing giant spiders in house basements. You do need quite a bit of tailoring skill, though.
