But What About Leather?

The biggest change from 3e to 4e Low Tech is in the leather armors.

The leather jacket from the 3e Basic Set.

A leather jacket covered the arms, torso and vitals (6, 8-11, 17-18) with PD 1 DR 1 for $50, 4 lb.

It's pretty much the same for 4e (8-12, 17-18) with DR 1*, $50, 4 lb.

There's no such thing as DR 1 leather in Low Tech.

Your choices for flexible leather is:

Light leather for DR 0/1* (higher for cutting), $270, 5 lb. or:

Medium leather for DR 2/1* (lower for impaling), $150, 18 lb.

Light leather is the closer match.

Traditional cuir bouilli leather for the torso (9-11, 17-18):

3e Leather armor, PD 2 DR 2, $100, 10 lb.

4e Basic Set Leather armor, DR 2, $100, 10 lb.

4e Low Tech hardened medium leather, DR 2, $63, 7.5 lb. (lighter AND cheaper!) or hardened heavy leather, DR 3, $125, 12.5 lb.
