It is unknown if Altaïr wears armor beneath his outfit, but it is not mentioned in the game, never upgraded, and doesn't reduce damage in combat. For all intents and purposes, armor in Assassin's Creed is non-existent for the playing character.

The defense most related to actual combat is his ability to block and counter with the majority of his weapons. Against a single opponent, Altair can block nearly every attack.
