So, having read the armour section, which is awesome by the way, i realised something is missing and though this is the history nut in me speaking, i feel that it is kinda important; a gambeson.
Now, this could be put in the apparel section or in the armour section as a entirely separate item, but if you're wearing a torso armour piece made out of anything but a lightweight material, i feel you should be forced to wear a gambeson underneath; historically plate armour pieces were attached to a gambeson, specifically their arming points. More importantly you didn't wear plate armour over simple clothes; the metal if bent by a blow would simply tear the clothes and pierce the skin, while a gambeson absorbed some of the damage and could protect the wearer from broken bones.
So, while this isn't entirely necessary, i feel that if you're going to have armour penalties to movement in a world where chakra can be used to strengthen your blows - Tsunade - than being forced to wear a gambeson as a prerequisite to having a torso armour piece isn't too much.
*Also final idea that's not related, if you're wearing fully heavy armour (armour class of 30+) i feel you shouldn't be able to shunshin given the current movement penalty system, or reducing the distnace they can travel; a European set of full plate weighed somewhere between 45 and 55 lbs. (20 to 25 kg), with the helmet weighing between 4 and 8 lbs. (2 to 4 kg). I feel that's enough to stop someone using a shunshin or stop them from travelling as far in one.
