An armorer's hall lined with racks of swords, spears and shields, a smith at a glowing forge, and a trident statue in a sunken city beyond.

Studded leather

Equipment, Armor

Leather reinforced with metal studs.

From the book

Leather set with metal studs, priced at 10 G.P. It is Type III armor, absorbing 3 points of damage per attack, and has no Dexterity save penalty.

Studded leather is the heaviest armor a gladiator can wear while wrestling or boxing without taking the non-proficiency penalty on every attack and maneuver. As with all armor, spell casters other than paladins cannot use it, and it counts as basic equipment for encumbrance.
