HAIDATE

Haidate are a late occurrence in oriental armour. Hai-date are the 'trousers' of samurai armor, covering the waist and thighs. However, more often than not the samurai didn't wear their haidate, deeming them uncomfortable and likely to slow them down when on the run.

Be that as it may, I would suggest, having once being the victim of a sword called Torso Maker, that you make haidate and wear them when you fight. Your thighs will thank you.
