[Source] A kama was a flexible leather armor accoutrement worn from the belt. Inspired by the belt-spats of the Thyrsus Sun Guard, but adapted for wear by Mandalorian warriors, the kama became a traditional garment and recognized symbol of Mandalorian culture. Though the indigenous fighters of Rotas V would also take up the use of kamas as command skirts, it was the adaptation of the Mandalorian kama by the clone soldiers of the Galactic Republic's Grand Army that drew the traditional half-kilt widespread galactic attention. Sturdy and resilient, kamas protected the legs of the wearer from low-flying shrapnel and debris kicked up by the chaos of battle, and were known for their ability to shield the wearer from the down-draft of a jetpack's rockets. Coming in a variety of colors, over time

Sturdy and resilient, kamas protected the legs of the wearer from low-flying shrapnel and debris kicked up by the chaos of battle, and were known for their ability to shield the wearer from the down-draft of a jetpack's rockets. Coming in a variety of colors, over time, many kama wearers chose to don the distinctive armored accessory as much for ceremonial value as protection.
