Hmmm. Well if I were to allow armor, what I'd do is...

For light armor (heavy leathers and such) I'd give the player +1 Brawn die
to soak damage.

For heavy armor (steel breastplates and such) I'd give +2 Brawn to soak
damage.

And just to keep armor unpopular I'd also apply a die penalty equal to the
armor level (1 or 2) to any rolls involving full body movement. So you can
have up to +2 to soak, but at the cost of -2 kept dice (well, -1 kept die
and -1 skill die for a stat of 2 and -2 skill dice if the character has a
Stat level of 1).to those attack rolls and balance checks and active dodges
and...you get the point.
