📋 About This Mod
__________________________________________________________________________________
D E T A I L SThis mod adds a new armor set that can be crafted with steel smithing. Also included are both a helmet and cuirass variant. Everything is on par with steel, except for the Insulated Chest Piece, it's slightly better.
Included in the mod is a SPID file that should (Hopefully) distribute the armor to Uthgerd and Bandit Chiefs.

[]A patch for 3ba can be found here
[*]Regarding HIMBO support, I can only play Skyrim on xbox, so I haven't been able to learn bodyslide yet. Anyone else is welcome to make patches though! <3
