Default Re: [UT] Layering Light/Diaphanous Body Armor

I've been treating Diaphonaous/Giant Spider silk as half a layer, and dropping fractions for DX penalties purposes. But I actually like Mailanka's solution better now that I have read it.

I do use all three of Mr. Pluver's armor design articles instead of base Low-Tech/High-Tech/Ultra-Tech. Still, with the exception of High-Tech armors, you could follow Mailanka's guidance with the usual armor design rules too.

The solution to "3 T-shirts are restricting" is to charge the +0.2CF to make outer layers garnitures (Low-tech p.109). Basically, tailor the outside T-Shirts to account for your increased size. Still limit things by total max DR though.
