And yet some armors in Ultra Tech are literally clothing that are "magically" armor. A layer of armor spandex, a layer of armor T-shirt & Jeans, plus a final layer of armor raincoat won't be restrictive at all. Compare even this layered armor to the DR of rigid armor or flexible + trauma plates from the same TL, and you're still way under prepared for a fight with TL weapons, but better than nothing.
