Ablat is a cheap alternative to reflec fashioned from a material which will ablate (vaporize) when hit by laser fire. The ablation of the material carries away the energy of the laser and protects the wearer. Continued fire against ablat degrades its effectiveness, but the armor is cheap and easily replaceable. Ablat also has some value against other forms of attack.
