In the case that a Saint would burn his/her Cosmos, the Cloth amplifies the saint's skills greatly allowing him/her to reach their full potential. The same with the Sagittarius Cloth against Aiolia before even knowing what the Gold Saints, Seventh Sense was. When Seiya first donned his Pegasus Cloth, he expected the Cloth to be a sort of a magical item and essentially fight for him, but instead he was semi-immobilized because he was not burning his cosmos. If a wearer has no cosmos, then the Cloth is useless. Cloths can only reach their potential when the wearer burns their own cosmos. However, Cloths are not weapons and do not contain their own source of power. Saints also have great offensive prowess not only because their arms and legs are covered by the Cloth, but most importantly becuse it creates a sort of synergy with the Saint and his/her constellation, helping to burn his/her Cosmo at a much greater extent than normal. While Saints have surpassed normal humans and have super human capabilities, they are not invincible by any means and are still susceptible to physical harm. The Cloths are of extreme importance to Saints both defensively and offensively. While Bronze Cloths cover a small part of the body, usually the most important vital points and not much more, the Gold Cloths leaves very small parts of the body uncovered, like the upper part of the legs and arms. It's an usual trait that the stronger the Cloth is, the more it covers the wearer's body, with a few exceptions. For example, an Aries object of Cloth will not walk, speak, fight like a golden metal Ram-man or transform from ram to man, but the Aries object will fly to join its owner, it will turn into armor and can be worn by its owner such as Mu. Kurumada gave semi-anthropomorphic style to the Cloths.
There are 48 Bronze Cloths, 24 Silver Cloths, 12 Gold Cloths, 4 Cloths of unknown material and, outside of the 88, one more Cloth that is Athena's Cloth, a God Cloth. There is one cloth for each constellation.
The 88 Cloths ( 聖衣 クロス, Kurosu ?) are the armors worn by Athena's Saints.
