Leather armor (Fallout 4)

Leather armor is an type of armor set in Fallout 4.

Background
One of the many, many variants of leather armor finely crafted from tanned brahmin hide. The basic variant consists of two axillary and shoulder protectors. A bandoleer with three pockets holds up a midriff carry belt and a waist utility belt with a carry pouch, five spare bullets, and three more ammunition pouches on the back. It also has a set of protective knee and elbow pads and guards for the forearms and shins.

Characteristics
 Leather armor consists of five different pieces that make up the entire set, one for each limb, and as well as a torso piece. They can be worn over thin clothing with ease, and can be modified with standard armor mods, although only material mods change the armor's appearance. Leather armor is tilted more toward protection against energy weapons although it does protect against ballistic based weaponry.

Leather armor provides benefits to players who prefer stealth, since it offers a "Shadowed" upgrade, which makes the player harder to see in the dark, and it is lightweight, which, according to the in-game tips, also benefits stealth. Although all these leather armor variants are post-War creations, they are usually found sporadically and need to be purchased or looted. Of course, one may choose to opt for the leather coat. 

Base stats
This set does not have a helmet. 

Crafting
With the Contraptions Workshop add-on, all three levels of protection can be manufactured using a armor forge.

Modifications
This item has the following modification slots: Material, Misc. All numbers are relative to the base stats.
 * Material mods can't be swapped between arms and legs, even though they cost the same and provide the same bonuses.
 * Misc mods that are available to both arms and legs can be swapped.
 * You can find Muffled arms as loot, but this is a bug. If the Muffled mod is removed from the arms, it cannot be re-added. It also likely provides no benefit on the arms.
