Donning the Sestina armor is a process of three to four minutes. The armor latches at the back, and the smart-polymer will stretch to better fit the wearer. It is four pieces (greaves, torso, skirt, and helmet), all of which latch together seamlessly once the armor is activated. | Donning the Sestina armor is a process of three to four minutes.

- | The armor is composed of three basic layers. Against the skin is a 4cm layer of a smart-polymer which absorbs a high degree of the force of attacks. This layer is laced with electrical nodes which stimulate the muscles of the wearer, significantly increasing strength and reflexes. The combination of heightened physical strength (though results vary somewhat, one can typically exert an additional 50 to 65 kg of pressure while so stimulated; lifting capacities tend to increase by 100 to 130 kg) and the lessening of kinetic force make this an excellent complement to the highly reflective/ | + | The armor is composed of three basic layers.

The last layer is a superconductive grid protected by a very thin ( < 1mm ) layer of ultrahard fullerite. This allows electrical energy and EMPs to disperse harmlessly over the perimeter of the armor. Ultrahard fullerite can withstand around 320 GPa, and has similar refractory qualities to ADNR. | The last layer is a superconductive grid protected by a very thin ( < 1mm ) layer of ultrahard fullerite.
