Diplo armor in T20?

[archhealer]

I notice there are some references in both the THB and some of the TAS publications to 'diplo' cloth armor. However, I can find no T20 stats for it anywhere. Has this not been published yet, or was it forgotten, or was it lumped into some other armor? Just curious, one of my players who's familiar with CT was asking about it's availability, and not having played CT I was rather baffled.

I think it originally made an appearance in T4, I'll go and check the stats.

T4 main book pg 76; The well-dressed and prepared dignitary usually has some form of body armor on under his formal wear.This type of protection is colloqually referred to as "diplo"(short for diplomat, the type of person prone to needing this protection).Diplo usually masses about 1 kg and protects the vital organs wtih a flexable armor rating of 3. The lack of air circulation tends to make it uncomfortable in hot climates. The wearerwill suffer a -1 DM an End-based rolls.
