I have been modding raiders for a while, and I have heard more than once that the raider moddable armor should have more defense, and so with this quite simple mod, i just raised it to reasonable levels. The raider armor now has the same stats as the metal armor. Thats it. 

Ive also added support for AWKCR and Armorsmith Extended.

And there is now a support patch for my Raider Overhaul

How To Download
Just use the NMM, or (if your feeling rebellious) download manually, then drag/drop the included .esp file into your Data folder. Couldn't be easier. I don't think load order really matters with this mod.
