Armour is a selection of equipment worn on various parts of the body to mitigate damage. It can be worn on five different parts of the body. Armour can be made by the player through the skill Armour Smith, purchased from Traders, or looted from characters. All types of armour are most efficiently stored in Armour Storage (but can also be stored in general storage).
For the Armour category please see this page.

Kenshi categorizes Armour into four different categories, depending on damage resistance and skill multipliers.
Clothing is equipment which does not have armour coverage. Clothing is generally worn by civilians. Wearing clothing can be advantageous for keeping a character's "looks like a slave" rating low when escaping from Slavery. Some clothing has bonuses specifically for Martial Arts.
Light Armour is likely to have bonuses to Combat Stats. Light armour is preferred by players who want to prioritize bonus attack, defense, dodge, and attack/block speeds of their characters. After all, who needs protection when your enemy doesn't get a chance to attack?
Stats
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Clothing | Clothing is equipment which does not have armour coverage. Clothing is generally worn by civilians. Wearing clothing can be advantageous for keeping a character's "looks like a slave" rating low when escaping from Slavery. Some clothing has bonuses specifically for Martial Arts. |
| Heavy Armour | Heavy Armour is armour which weighs a lot. Heavy Armour offers the most damage resistances but also has negative effects on stats. The penalties caused by this type of armour make battles more difficult and therefore allow characters to level up faster in combat stats. (Attack, Defense, Dodge, Martial Arts, Dexterity) |
| Light Armour | Light Armour is likely to have bonuses to Combat Stats. Light armour is preferred by players who want to prioritize bonus attack, defense, dodge, and attack/block speeds of their characters. After all, who needs protection when your enemy doesn't get a chance to attack? |
| Medium Armour | Medium Armour offers more coverage than light armour and less resistances than heavy armour, but without the latter's severe skill penalties. |
