I won’t rehash the oft-posted requests for more Ranger-specific leather armor from a fashion perspective, I think those cases have been well made. What I would offer tho is the idea of armor designed more around the functionality that a Ranger embodies.

Blending in with the wilds is ostensibly our core theme, so perhaps an armor with some degree of “ghillie suit” garnish would be wickedly cool. That would be a case where the dye system could have huge impact as tweaking your garnish to match your surroundings would be an ongoing option.

I also love the idea of a cowl-esque hood that drapes low, largely concealing the face within. That is certainly my visual impression of a Ranger and would fit function as well as fashion.

Have you seen a lot of the medium armor from karma and cultural rewards? Many seems to be what you describe. IE, functional, and not at all fashionable. Given the correct dyes they feel very much Ranger-esque.

Actually, yeah, could someone do a list of armor given by Karma vendors? I’ve only seen cloth sets. Where are the leather sets!?

Every vendor that carries armour has all three types. They carry, say, Superwater Armour, which will come in three varieties:
Superwater Mail
Superwater Jacket
Superwater Robe
You have obviously passed right over them
