    Default I am looking to buy a Battle dress in Mongoose Traveller

    So I have what I believe is a mongoose Traveller 2ed handbook (2022).
    My book though appears to have a misprint, and it doesn't include any stats for the Battle Dress Armor, just description and Tech level.

    Would anyone be able to hook me up with errata or otherwise official stats? Please and thank you.
    My sig is something witty.

    Looks, from some quick searches, that there may official errata you can download from the Mongoose site. Failing that I'd hit up the top 2 or 3 Traveller wikis and compare lesser armor stats with your book to match with the closest older edition.

    Yay, thank you.

    I thought I found the errata the other day but it must have been an old version, this one looks like it has the info I was looking for.

    Something to bear in mind - the lack of price may be intentional (though not the lack of stats).
    Battle Dress, as presented in previous editions, was the sort of armour that tended to be illegal for anyone other than the government to own (and black market prices are normally "whatever the buyer will pay").

    It's 200,000 for TL13 or 220,000 for TL14 in my Mongoose 2e book. The 2022 update may have broken some things. Enjoy.

    The first printing of the 2022 Update Corebook left the prices of battle dress off of the table. There is an errata .pdf available on the Mongoose website that includes the prices. Later reprints have the prices back.

    The new 2023 Central Supply Catalogue also has battle dress prices, including more varieties and options.

    Also, it's generally referred to as "battle dress", not "a battle dress". Real-life military fatigues are also sometimes referred to as battledress, not "a" battledress.

    Well there goes the image in my head of an armored exoskeletal ball gown.

    I feel like we should invoke the Air Bud rule here.

    No one said a dress for battle could not also be battledress.
    "Okay, so I'm going to quick draw and dual wield these one-pound caltrops as improvised weapons..."

    "Oh, hey, look! Blue Eyes Black Lotus!" "Wait what, do you sacrifice a mana to the... Does it like, summon a... What would that card even do!?" "Oh, it's got a four-energy attack. Completely unviable in actual play, so don't worry about it."
