All of the armor you can create you can find somewhere(Ancient nord?)

What are you looking for? If you aren't looking for any type. I would say Nightingale for Sneaky archer, Penatus Oculatus armor for Archer, Wolf armor with Dragon mask for Medium armored looking fellow with Shield of Ysgramor, and for Heavy; Ebony Armor easily

For Light Armour, I like the Savior's Hide (Hircine daedric artifact).

I like steel plate armor best of all the heavy armors (by a wide margin), and I'm a fan of the elven armor and a couple of the fur variants for certain types of character. Of course, the nightingale armor is pretty rad, too, especially if you download the hi-res mod for it. The guildmaster's armor isn't too bad either.

Well it's the only one I have. If you count robes as armor the Archmage's robes are pretty cool (and have fantastic stats)

Horned scale armor is awesome for a barbarian style character.

Coolest Armors = -est imply THE so only one seems a very appropriate answer to me... :)

I fluctuate between Dragon plate and Daedric without helmets. Sometimes Steel Plate and Ebony. Loved the Ebony Mail in my first playthrough though.

Ebony Mail and Dragonplate are my favorite heavy armors. But I like to use Steel or Steel Plate for most of the game, until I have some achievements under my belt.

As for light armor, I like Scaled Armor for my warrior types and Leather/Dragonscale for my sneaky toons. I like Nightingale for my Dark Elf because I'm starting to hate the way I made his face and the Nightingale hood covers it up.

My favourite is definately, without any doubt, the Ancient Nord armor.

I like the alternate Fur armor, the one without a chest part or sleeves, but it`s quite hard to get hold of.

How come there aren't any chainmail? Since Nord culture is based on viking culture, there should at least be chainmail. Mods, I guess.

On topic: I think Steel Plate is the coolest armor in the game, and I'll wear it till the day I die (literally).

I like the nightengale armor, but it needs a cape. Plus the benefits of it never really fit my character.

Dwemer armour, followed by Steel plated, followed by Ancient Nord (and their weapons are easily the best looking weapons in the game). Haven't really gone into the light armour yet.

I swear by my Falmer armor, but I like the look of Orcish a lot, too. I'd be a lot more fond of the Wolf armor if it were....more wolf-like :P
