Sturdy leather armor

 is an armor set-type item in Fallout 4.

Background
One of the many, many variants of leather armor finely crafted from tanned brahmin hide. The sturdy variant consists of two large auxiliary and shoulder protectors, set up asymmetrically, with the larger once on the right. A bandoleer with three pockets holds up a large, treated leather flap covering the heart and right lung, a set of chest carry belts and pouches, and a waist utility belt. The belt contains no less than two carry pouches on the sides, two ammunition pouches on the back, and a groin protector. The set is completed by large forearm protectors, shin guards, leather knee pads, and most important, thigh protectors enclosing the entire side.

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.
