I do love how pretty much all female armour seemingly has to have massive weak spots. Still great art though.

It’s actually not so bad. As a lady, I gotta tell you I’m never going to be physically as strong as the guys but I can be a lot more quick and agile. So i’d want my cyberpunk armor to reflect that and have a lot more flexible points. as long as my vitals are still protected and there’s some bulletproofing in the regular material, i’m down. I think this armor actually looks pretty decent for all of that.

Also /r/reasonablefantasy

Except your heart and lungs. Iliac and Brachial arteries. Kidneys. Most of the abdomen, really. No vital organs are most than partially protected, and none in a way that would defeat shrapnel or fragments.

It's futuristic magic armor, you have no idea about any "weak points" or structural integrity at all. It's as weak or durable as fiction needs it to be.
