My character is currently level 28 and i use Iron Cuirass, combined with Leather Boots and Fur Gauntlets..
I don't use the best armor possible, such as Daedric, Dragon or Ebony.. I use the one that IMO looks really cool.
I don't like this Fancy Daedric/Ebony/Dragon armors, i prefer the old-fashioned Iron and Fur.

Also, i don't use Helmets, i don't like it.
