There are three types of armor: Heavy, Medium and Light.

Of course, one cannot rely entirely on swift footwork and movement to protect them against even mere glancing blows so they make use of light armor, made mainly of leather and fabric with bits of metalwork when necessary. It's for this reason that a monster slayer's first line of defense is agility. Some of these entities are huge in size and strength and can shatter the finest of metal armors with a motion of their limbs. Indeed, Witchers are called upon to battle beings that mere mortals could never tackle on their own.

These are the words Geralt entrusted to one very special student during their training together at some point during his saga. "No mighty mortal, no heap of meat or strongman can parry the strike of the Slyzard's tail". Armor slots are divided into Chest pieces, Gloves, Trousers and Boots. Armor in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is highly customizable and visual, whilst also providing protection to the player.
