These armor parts can be worn by the following jobs: Knight, Mystic knight, Berserker, Dragoon, Samurai and Gladiator.
These are hand equipped like weapons. Shields are useable by Knights, Lancers, Samurai, Berserkers, Sorcerers, Mimes (the same jobs that can use Fighter armor) and BlueMages as well.

These items can subdivided in sets. Each set includes body armor, helm and shield; some also include gauntlets. Note that shields increase evasion rather than defense.
