As sneak armors? If Im to play a sneak character, I seem to be limited to either thieves guild or dark bro hood armor. When leveling this can be tough in close combat. This might be more of a roleplaying question....also Id like to say thanks and apologize. Thank you to this board for its experienced players and all the help Ive received. Im sorry if some of my questions are similar and ask about a roleplaying or realistic view of things.

Since Armor weight is a factor in Your Stealth value (heavier Armor=Less sneaky) Then Yes Light armor is sneaky armor. However, Muffle enchantments, for lack of a better way to put it, does alot for Making your character. Especially if you enchanted the item with muffle yourself

Well, some of them seem quite bright and reflective, so you might wonder if they would be worn by someone who wanted to avoid being seen...

They also seem to have a lot of bits with hard surfaces, that would probably make a lot of noise from rubbing along eachother, or by coming into contact with other things (walls, trees, etc.)

Right, but would you say that elven, glass, or even dragonscale could be used as a sneaky type armor?

EDIT Sorry srk, posted right after you.
