Northlander armor consists of an underlay of thick mammoth hide, topped with a mantle of fine fur. Breeches and arm coveringsare double-layered with flexible beast leather and gloves are padded and thick. The head is usually protected by a thick hood. Boots are fur-clad and belted for traction in snow. The northlander armor is always masterwork; price and benefits are subsumed in the above statistics.

The northlander armor provides the following benefits when worn, on top of its general protective capabilities.

• You gain damage reduction 3/piercing.
• You can move at normal speed across any snow and ice. You are unaffected by any difficult terrain involving snow, ice and similar slippery underground and gain a +4 bonus to any saving throws against cold hazards and effects based on snow and ice.
• You count as having level 2 cold protection or your existing level of cold protection increases by +2 (see Protection against Cold, Frostburn pg. 9).

Craft (hide and leatherworking) DC 19. Market Price 550 gp.
