"Layered armor" is special armor in Monster Hunter World (MHW) that only changes your appearance while keeping the effects of your equipped armor intact. Once you have some layered armor, you can wear it by following any of the methods below.
You can forge Layered Armor with Iceborne Expansion. Also see Layered Weapon for the weapon equivalent.
- Item Box Menu (Your Room) > Change Appearance > Layered Armor Settings
- Item Box Menu (Astera or Research Base) > Layered Armor Settings
- You can change the color of your layered armor within the settings above, see "Color Presets". Colors only apply to certain parts of the armor, like the stickets or belts, adornments, etc

Man, wish I could export this list as a Excel sheet or something to make checklist

I was so disappointed to learn that you can’t equip individual pieces of different layered armour. It seems arbitrary to have to wear a complete armour set :S
- Anonymous
I'm doing a checklist, and I saw that 2 that I got are missing of this page :
►the layered Head armor from Gastodon
►the layered Chest armor from Barnos
and these 4 are twice in this list :
►Great Girros Layered Armor (once with the name "Great Girros Layered Armor", and once with "Girros Layered Armor")
►Anjanath Alpha Layered Armor ( "Anjanath Alpha Layered Armor" and "Anja Alpha Layered Armor")
►Anjanath Beta Layered Armor ("Anjanath Beta Layered Armor" and "Anja Beta Layered Armor")
►Jyuratodus Layered Armor ("Jyuratodus Layered Armor" and "Jyura Layered Armor")
Thanks to those who edit this site (happy to participate a little :D)
have a good day ^^
(btw it seems I currently have 119/270 layered armors ^^)

For those whining about the list not being in alphabetical order, and it makes searching for a specific set, let me tell you about Ctrl+F. Ctrl+F lets you search the entire page for a specific word. Problem solved.

Hey guys,
A lot of you guys are wanting a full list of the available MR Armor so here is what I have so far. Just a little note: To unlock MR layered armor for a certain monster, you may need to fight that monster in it's tempered form. Doing so will unlock you new materials if you haven't fought that tempered monster before.

Pretty much everything I have, but there may be more. Event armor like guild, dragon cloth, etc will be available in the next event or so. If I missed anything let me know.
NOTE AGAIN: YOU NEED TO FIGHT THE TEMPERED VERSION OF THAT MONSTER TO UNLOCK THE LAYERED ARMOR AS IT WILL DROP MATERIALS FOR IT TO APPEAR IN THE SMITHY. MONSTERS LIKE FATALIS, ALATREON, AND MORE ARE NOT REQUIRED CAUSE THEY DO NOT EXIST(MAYBE ONE DAY...). ALSO YOU WILL NEED TO DO SOME MINING AND GATHERING IN THE GUIDING LANDS AND BELIEVE ME IT IS THE WORST IF RNG AIN'T ON YOUR SIDE.
Good day.

Allright I’m just gonna call it right now but I’m like 100% sure that Capcom will add all MR armor sets as layered. I mean seriously, Josh from Ragegaming actually PREDICTED the layered weapons system when everyone thought he was being a bit crazy. And you know what? IT HAPPENED, NOTHING SEEMS CRAZY ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!! Sure, with the current situation (f*ck you coronavirus) the wait will be much longer than we have patience for. But I’m willing to bet my left nut on this, Capcom WILL add all MR armor as layered.

Is layered armor only available in the iceborn expansion? I dont have iceborn so can i still get layered armor in the original game?
Actually you're wrong there is actually a layered armor version I know because I have it on PS4 and don't remember what quest I need to do to get the Azure Era Seal and I definitely saw a PC player using it as I always inspect gear to see what kind of builds people use So yea it exist!

Can someone kindly tell me which quest the Azure Starlord Layered Armor is found to get the Azure Era Seal Ticket. No one on the internet has posted this from the look of it

Can you have layered armor on your weapon or something? I see quite a few people who have different weapons than the one they have equipped from the layered armor slot.

does buff body has a layered armor set? i saw someone wearing it but after i inspect their eq it was safi set

For those wondering, Ingot Layered Armor does exist, it's just not listed here in this wiki. It takes: 5x Frozen Crystal + 3 Meldspar Ore + 3 Fierce Dragonvein Bones It should be listed after the Dodogama armor!

You need to finish iceborn story first for unlocking layered armor

How do you get the Kulve Taroth layered armor? I’m not seeing it at all in my layered armor options. (The actual armor, not the set that you get for beating him originally)

A note for PC players! You CANNOT CRAFT THESE YET. They will be available come the Rajang update so hold tight and farm away.

complete lack of layer for the new armors (Artian, Shrieking Legi) or some of the older Elders (Xeno, KT) feels like such a slap in the face. All this endgame and they can't even be bothered to do it properly.

I’ve gone into the smithy and looked at both high and low rank layered armour but only see the dire wolf set? Do you have to be a certain rank to receive the opportunity to get them or what???

How do you unlock them though? I know you get some through events but what about, for example, Great Girros, Odagaron and Radaboan?

I wish they added the option to craft ALL sets of armour as a "layered" version, but still cost the same materials.. I REALLY like the looks of the glavenus & acidic glavenus armour but the skills aren't that great for my playstyle.

Anyone got a clue if the Clockwork set will be layered ever? I hate the abilities but love the damn set. :/

I'm working on getting pictures for the layered armor but I need images from the male characters in order to make the male/female versions. If anyone can help, you can send them to me via PSN or upload your screenshot to the wiki so I can crop them out.

why didn't they just make all armor that you owned can be layered?

Is there no way to color your layered armor without the colors applying to your real armor and saving on to loadouts you make? I get sick of having to change colors for every load out if I want to change styles.
- Anonymous
Would be nice if images were added... Since the way it LOOKS is kind of important with layered armor. Useless page so far.

you should totally be able to make layered armor out of normal armor like the odogaron armor looks awesome but I have another set that's better so I shouldn't technically use it
