Suneate Options

Suneate Options/Styles
==== Major Variants ====
# Standard Issue Han Suneate ($13.86 each) - This armor only protects the shins. They are significantly less labor intensive than full Suneate and are less expensive as well.
# Short Han Suneate ($11.15 each) - Plates are a bit shorter for fighters who may be smaller. 
# Full Suneate - Full Suneate include knee protection. This protection is often achieved by utilizing kikko. Kikko tend to be extremely labor intensive, meaning warriors who have kikko armors did so as a personal project. Knee protection is not limited to kikko, those options are listed below.

==== Options ====
# 3 Plate Shino - Shin protection is achieved by utilizing three plates interconnected by chain. This option offers strong protective benefits while maintaining decent maneuverability.
# 7 Plate Shino - Shin protection constructed of 7 plates interconnected by chain. The armor is less resistant to major trauma but maintains the highest mobility of any plate shin. It is important to note, that where legs are concerned, it is recommended to stick with the 3-plate construction due to the hazards of fighting.
# Titanium Construction - The armor is constructed from Titanium. This material is both stronger and lighter than the steels used in standard construction. (roughly 60% the weight of steel)
## This material is significantly more expensive.
# Stainless Steel Construction - The armor is constructed from stainless alloys. This material is both stronger and more rust resistant than standard materials.
# Leather Tateage (knees) - Knee armor can be made from leather plates. The major benefit of leather knees is that the armor would not run into issues of legality in non-verdish foam-fighting games.
# Kusari Tateage (knees) - Knee armor can be made from chainmail . The major benefit of chain knees is that the armor would not run into issues of legality in non-verdish foam-fighting games.
# Kusari Kikko Tateage (knees) - Knee armor can be made from kusari kikko. However, it is unclear if this style of armor would be considered legal in non-verdish foam-fighting games.
# Plate Tateage (knees) - Knee armor can be made from solid metal plates. This would offer the highest levels of protection. However, this armor would not be considered legal in many non-verdish foam-fighting games.

==== Other Options ====
# High Carbon Steel Construction - This makes the armor stronger than standard materials. This armor can be tempered.
# Thicker Material Plates - Thicker material can be utilized to increase the strength of the armor, however this adds significant weight. It is often recommended to use higher quality materials such as titanium, high carbon, or stainless if armor strength is a concern
Obviously other custom options are achievable, this list is focused on tested designs!
