Mesh Armor

About the Mesh Armor

Built from a dense weave of armor-grade fibers and flexible plating, mesh armor offers heavier protection than most while retaining more give than a rigid shell, its interlocking lattice spreading the force of impacts across the whole garment. The construction lets it turn blaster bolts and blades with real authority while flexing with the wearer's movements more gracefully than plate of comparable strength. Soldiers, elite guards, and well-equipped mercenaries favor it for the way it delivers serious medium-armor coverage without the full stiffness of solid battle plate. It is not light gear, and it demands genuine proficiency to wear without being weighed down, but for its protection it moves better than one might expect. Mesh armor is the choice of a fighter who wants heavy coverage but refuses to become a slow, easy target, a suit that keeps its wearer both hard to hurt and still able to fight with some measure of freedom.
