I just imagine the robes being enchanted to have the properties chainmail; being really effective in defending from slashing attacks, as well as stab attacks from thrusting or piercing weapons. More powerful enchantments would be akin to more durable materials used for mail. This would mean that the enchantment is also be vulnerable to blunt weapons, but it would explain why bolts and arrows punch right through it.
