[[Category:Dragon Quest VIII armor]]
==Characteristics==
A suit of lightweight armour said to have been forged from of an exotic metal, worn with a rough green tunic over the left shoulder and a leather belt around the waist. The armour has a high degree of protection, but no other effects, and is able to be equipped by a wider range of characters and vocations due to its light weight. Its name in Japanese has a double meaning as it is spoken phonetically similar to the phrase "[[Wikipedia:Banded mail|banded mail]]", a type of armour popularised by the tabletop game ''Dungeons & Dragons'' that is similar to splint armour and {{translation|"bandit"|バンデット|bandetto}} in Japanese. This is also the origin of the [[Brigandine]]'s name in Japanese.
