The armor appears to be a full suit of heavy gauge steel and offers full body protection. It also has a cloak in excellent condition, but the armor itself bears numerous battle scars and the helmet is missing half of the left horn. The Legate's suit appears originally crafted, in contrast to other Legion armor which consists of repurposed pre-War sports equipment. It is on par with standard combat armor in terms of protection, and is the second strongest armor seen in the Legion, next to Legion centurion armor.
