A Plate Mail Body (also known as a platebody) is a piece of armour worn on the torso of a player's body. They offer significantly more protection than a chain mail body does. However, players cannot equip gloves or gauntlets while wearing one. There are also plate mail tops, for female characters, that can be bought from Zenesha's Plate Mail Shop located in East Ardougne. The armour can be changed between male or female by using it on Thrander in southeastern Varrock.
