Cost: 125 GP nonmagical, hybrid heavy/medium armor. Proficiency with heavy armor allows use of this armor.

Banded mail armor is made of overlapping horizontal strips of laminated metal sewn over a backing of soft leather with ring mail under the leather. Since banded mail will inevitably have gaps between the metal strips, however, the total protection of vital areas is not quite as good as heavier plate armors.

 

Made of interlocking metal rings, a chain shirt is worn between layers of clothing or leather. This armor offers modest protection to the wearer's upper body and allows the sound of the rings rubbing against one another to be muffled by outer layers.
