Link armor

Link Armor was armor originally worn by Jedi Knights well before Clone Wars. It consisted of insulated rings linked together to form various protective garments to cover the user's body. It was primarily designed to protect its users from energy attacks such as a blaster bolts, but it also provided a little resistance to slugthrowers and other kinetic weapons. During the Rebellion era, some users would wear multiple suits of link armor, but they found it that it quickly reduced their dexterity.
