The '''FBL-8a set''' is an armor set manufactured by [[Clark Defense Systems]]. There are currently three color variants available. No helmet belongs to the set as of the current [[LIVE]] build, but the [[Mandible Helmet]] is believed to be the one.<ref name="ingame">In game survey in Alpha 3.12</ref>

==In-game description==
<blockquote>CDS's quest to create the ideal light armor continues with the FBL-8a. This light armor will keep you fast on your feet with its strategic mix of protective plating and reinforced nano-weave fabrics. While the armor works with any undersuit, it was specifically designed to match the FBL-8u undersuit with special attention given to how the two fit together to make the set as streamlined and responsive as possible.</blockquote>
