The Bandos chestplate is a part of the Bandos armour set, which requires 65 Defence to wear. It is dropped by General Graardor and his bodyguards in the God Wars Dungeon. The Bandos chestplate provides a +4 Strength bonus, and more defensive bonuses than comparable body armours such as the fighter torso and inquisitor's hauberk. Despite seemingly being made of metal, the Bandos chestplate does not interfere with Ava's devices.

Uses

Bandos armour is among the most powerful melee armours in Old School RuneScape. Because it never degrades, it is ideal for melee training, Slayer tasks, and other prolonged combat encounters.

It has considerably lower defensive bonuses in stab and slash defence compared to the barrows platebodies and justiciar chestguard, but the strength bonus still makes it one of the most popular choices due to the slightly increased damage per second it provides.

With an identical Strength of +4 (albeit with lower defensive bonuses and no prayer bonus), the fighter torso and Blood moon chestplate are both excellent alternatives to the Bandos chestplate for players who do not have access to one.
