A set of Shardplate is constructed of individual pieces that, when assembled, protect the entire body. There are no gaps between sections of the armor, only increasingly small overlapping plates.{{book ref|sa1|26}} Shardplate helms have visors with eye slits that may be lifted up to expose the face. Although similar in appearance, each individual suit of Shardplate has a unique look
Shardplate worn by Radients of the past is said to have shone brightly with the glow of Stormlight and with glowing glyphs.{{book ref|sa1|19}}{{book ref|sa1|26}}{{book ref|sa2|4}}
Agility and dexterity are increased by Shardplate. A person armored in Shard acquires faster reflexes and is more responsive in battle.{{book ref|sa1|58}}
The Shardplate helmet has a face shield with a horizontal eye slit for visibility. When lowered, the shield becomes opaque to the wearer. Visibility through the eye slit is clear but peripheral vision is likened to looking through dirty glass.{{book ref|sa1|13}} In some instances, the face shield can adapt to protect the wearer's vision from the brightness of a lightning strike.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
Shardplate has the ability to use Stormlight to regenerate itself when damaged.{{book ref|sa1|15}} If sections of a suit of armor are destroyed or abandoned, they can be regenerated later by using Stormlight from the suit's gemstones. Once the Shardplate regenerates an abandoned piece, the previous piece will crumble to dust.{{book ref|sa1|68}} Repairing a heavily-damaged set of Shardplate can be costly as it commonly cracks the gemstones used during the process.{{book ref|sa1|56}}
