Troll leather armour is one of the lightest armours in the game, providing slightly more defense than leather armour with no additional encumbrance rating. It also provides a +40 bonus to the wearer's regeneration rate, though your hunger rate is increased to 1.5× normal for as long as you are not at max HP. This regeneration bonus does not apply to trolls, deep dwarves, or bloodless vampires, but does affect mummies in spite of their lack of a hunger clock.
This armour is rare, but you can create your own by using a scroll of enchant armour on a troll hide (which is sometimes produced when you butcher a troll corpse). If the hunger increase doesn't sound worth it to you, consider some of the lighter dragon armours instead.
Note that despite its similarity in name to the less universally wearable leather armour, troll leather armour (and its associated hide) can be worn by any character that can wear body armour, not just small and medium species.
Desirability
Middling. While troll leather armour is better than comparable mundane armours, its AC value is inferior to all of the dragon armours, it provides no resistances, though its regeneration boost is equivalent to that of a ring of regeneration, potentially freeing up a ring slot for you. This can be a good item, particularly for characters who have no other way to speed up their healing, or for ogres and trolls who have yet to find a dragon hide and still wish to improve their durability (albeit slightly), and any EV-based character should keep an eye out for a well-enchanted artefact.
