Same issue with the Jaguar and Eagle warriors. The unit stats reference the cotton armor worn by the Mesoamerican elites, effective at blocking arrows (PA) but light and doesn't overheat (speed). But the art department went for a "fantasy tropical savage look" for some reason, and the DE didn't change it because tradition (yet they changed the Conquistador and  Cataphract like it was no biggie).

Some Mayans even made strnger armor by dipping the cotton in saltwater or sewing jade scales unlike the Aztecs. Alas, that would have been a badass looking UU.
