I kept wearing it until around lvl 10 because all other armors made me cringe... then I realized there is the temerian armor which I used until I was able to wear the Cat school piece.

Personally I couldn't wait to get out of it because I didn't like it at all hahaha.
Ha, up until release I was like that too and was planning how I will get rid of it the first chance I get, because to be honest it looks more like a bodysuit than a badass armor, but still much better than anything else up until the early 10's
Chest part looks awesome but the waist area is a pijama.. to skinny, no layers. Pauldrons are meh too.
