Haramaki

Haramaki and haramaki-do were types of light armor used in Kara-Tur.

Description
Haramaki was a lightweight armor that was designed to protect the torso and back of an individual, hence its informal name of "belly protector". It was made from either chainmail or small metal plates, held together with silk. It was not bulky and was light enough to be worn under clothing. It was frequently worn by shugenja.

Haramaki-do was identical in appearance and made from the same material but was heavier and bulkier, and could not be worn under most clothing.
