" +/-2 protection" is meaningless and the absolute worst notation in the game so far.

Typically the notations are:

a. +X bonus; this reduces your AC (which is good) by X

b. -X bonus;   this reduces your AC (which is good) by X

c. +X penalty; this increases your AC (which is bad) by X

d. -X penalty; this increases your AC (which is bad) by X

e. AC X; this alters your AC by 10-X; for example, AC5 item will givec you -5 to ac (which is good).

I have no idea what "-2 protection" means.
