The lightweight metal armor is a piece of armor in Fallout: New Vegas.

CharacteristicsEdit

Modified for long-range travel, this variant upon metal armor provides the same protection as standard metal armor at only 2/3rds the weight (20 lb) and 5 times the item hp. Its DT is high enough to counter virtually any attack in the early stages of the game and can be repaired with regular metal armor. However; like all metal armor it reduces the wearer's Agility. The only visual differences seem to be the lack of shoulder guards and cables on the sides of the torso.
