      While many armors on both lists are indeed heavy, a couple of them come with light variants. Terra Armor collection, in particular, has many many light male armor pieces to play around with.

      You can also find plenty of light armors in our evil and badass armor lists that you can find linked in the table at the top of this article 🙂

    Looking for armor for women? THERE IS NONE. Just trash and more trash. Men always get the cool respectable armor, women are treated like cattle, empty vessels, a hole made for one thing and one thing alone.
