Human Armor

Human Armor is armor that can be worn by humans and asari in Mass Effect. Shepard's maximum armor type depends on the Commander's class. Ashley Williams starts with medium armor, but may unlock heavy armor. Kaidan Alenko and Liara T'Soni may only wear light armor.

Every human armor is not pictured in the tables below, though most have an individual armor page which includes an image. Skirmish Armor, for example, is statistically identical to Partisan Armor, but slightly different visually.
