User blog comment:ACWeapons/Aura Enhancing Armors? Yes or No?/@comment-25110963-20151214034008/@comment-226878-20151220044041

Random thought: Weapons can be enhanced by Dust. Dust can be "woven" into clothing... I don't see why Dust can't be infused into clothing for a one-off similarly to infusing weapons.

That aside, Aura is a difficult aspect to build around as there's still little info on it. It's lifeforce, it's a shield, it activates Dust, and it grants people their Semblances.

If the purpose of the armor is to enhance Aura, maybe it can be utilized by soldiers who haven't had their Aura unlocked. It would act as a shield powered by their Aura despite the fact they don't have actual access to it thus do not have the same recuperative abilities (i.e. their Aura would not regenerate the same rate as a person whose Aura is unlocked). It could also possibly grant them access to a fraction of what would be their unique Semblance.
