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 {{book ref|sa1|6}} and, because it conforms to the shape of its wearer, the same suit may appear unique on different individuals. The unfinished color of Shardplate is slate-grey {{book ref|sa1|12}}, similar to unfinished steel. In current times it is a common practice to change the appearance of one's Shardplate by painting it, or adorning it with decorative details or even gemstones.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
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|52

Strength and speed are also greatly increased by Shardplate. It provides the ability to jump several times the individual's height, heave objects of great weight, and run at high speeds. Wearing Shardplate requires extensive training to control this strength without damaging everyday objects{{book ref|sa1|12}}.
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.
Shardplate has the ability to use Stormlight to regenerate itself when damaged. 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. Repairing a heavily-damaged set of Shardplate can be costly as it commonly cracks the gemstones used during the process.
