A Plate Mail Top is a piece of armour worn by female characters on the torso of a player's body. They offer significantly more protection than a chain mail body does. However, players cannot equip gloves or gauntlets while wearing one. Various types can be purchased from Zenesha's Plate Mail Shop in East Ardougne. Unlike plate mail bodies, players cannot make this using the Smithing skill. Players can still take a plate mail body and exchange it for a plate mail top by using it on Thrander in southeastern Varrock.
