steel-plated

Whistles resounded for taxis hovering in the immediate vicinity, like steel-plated birds of prey.

Their hobnailed soles and steel plated heels ring on the stone flags.

At road intersections, I saw mighty metal monsters with steel plated sides splotched with green and brown and red paint.

A steel-plated hat would have been but a poor guard against a bludgeon, and a still poorer defence against poignard or pistol.

I speculated quite a long time, with my hands on the bulwarks, as to whether our friend was soft wood or steel plated.
