Depending on your playstyle, heavier armors and power armor can provide great DT but can reduce your movement speed. There’re a few ways to increase your DT in the game, the most obvious being to wear tough armor. For example, if a shot is fired at you with a damage value of 40 against a DT of 10 from any armor, consumables or perks you have, 10 of that damage will be ignored. DT functions as an outright subtraction to the total damage taken by an enemy.
