The Kashyyykian black mountain armor was a type of battle armor worn by members of the Wookiee species during the Galactic Civil War.[2] This armor was developed to protect Wookiees from the elements and predators they could encounter when traversing mountainous areas.[4] It was also often worn by Wookiee hunters tracking small or medium-sized preys.[2] The Kashyyykian black mountain armor offered protection against kinetic damage as well as from energy-based weapons like blasters.[1] The complete armor set comprised a chest plate with an included helmet, left & right biceps, left & right bracers and leggings.[2]

Two other models of Wookiee armors were the Kashyyykian hunting and ceremonial armors.[2]

Kashyyykian black mountain armors were worn by the Isolationist Wookiees.[3]

A variant of this armor, the Kashyyykian black mountain camouflage armor, was designed to help Wookiees blend with forest environments.[5]
