If any of the armor or masks seen below look different than yours, it could be because it is an upgraded version of the armor or it has been dyed another color. Certain headbands earned by completing haikus may have a different description depending on which lines you chose.

Because the game just came out, this list is a work-in-progress as we discover more armor pieces.
