Description

The core of vesk brigandine is a lightweight breastplate made of interlocking polymer hexagons. It flexes almost as well as fabric under normal use, but it becomes rigid as steel in response to impact. Its slim profile lets it be worn either over or under clothing. More advanced brigandine designs incorporate inertial dampeners to enhance protection. Vesk who prize mobility over maximum protection favor this style of light armor, and its use has spread throughout the Pact Worlds to the degree that any similar design is often referred to as vesk brigandine.
