Anyways, Claymore's armor is 100% redundant as far as I know since it offers no protection against other claymores/yoma slashes, it's quite common seeing the armor sliced like butter instead of creased. Mostly it's part of the uniform, that's its only purpose, Its like their suit, If they wandered around naked it would make no difference to them, it's just a matter of image, what would the villagers think if the warrior org sent were naked? They would think they kill yoma through massive bodybleed (yoma nosebleed version)
Well, there was an occurrence in an early chapter where Clare used her wrist guard to deflect a Yoma's claw, but that's the only time Claymore armor was even remotely useful.
And a Claymore wandering naked would more likely cause retching, heart attacks, and traumatize men so much they'd swear off women forever, hence leading to the extinction of mankind on the island.
