I find it really annoying that leather ans hunting cloves are heavy armor. Like to play my light armored hunter/archer …light cuirass everything else light clothing/armory and then the cloves stop me from getting the light armor buff. would like to see a change here in future patch…light arm protection is still missing too…cant be so hard to make a leather arm protektor for archers
There is no such thing as “leather arm protector”.
This annoys me as well, but all evidence suggest that this is a bug. There is a mod on the Nexus that you can download that changes the category of leather gloves so that they count as light armor. That will have to do until they patch it.
He might be talking about vambraces.
This is a known bug. Here’s a topic from over two weeks ago that has many words in it:
Well, okay. Leather vambraces are a thing. But they are not armour. It’s just a thing to protect your forearm from bow string.
You have just described armor. It’s a thing to protect your “things.”
No they are armor:

I think you mean they are not hand armor, which is true they do not occupy the hand slot, but they occupy the arm/shoulder slot though.
Ingame vambraces aren’t leather though… I was talking about OP’s quote
I meant that in real life leather arm protection is not armour (aka, thing that protects from weapons or projectiles). They can add it to the game, but it’s nothing more than thick clothing and would have no use, other than decoration.
Except it does do exactly that. It gives you stats that reduce damage. It is armor.
- “in real life”
- "it gives stats"
okay
Maybe you should read all my comments in this thread and try to understand what I’m talking about.
yea im confused about your entire statement.
Vambraces ARE leather. They activate the light armor perk in game.
Thick clothing are in the game, and are considered armor in the game. there are Gambesons, which occupy chest armor slot, and jupons and pourpoints, which can be worn over gambesons.
vambrace
ˈvambreɪs/
nounhistorical
noun: vambrace; plural noun: vambraces
a piece of armour for the arm, especially the forearm.
Use Google to look up the word vambrace, and get that real world meaning. Then click images, and see various metal and leather armor pieces. That real world enough for you?
Vambraces are armor.

I want to die…
How are they leather, if there are metal plates on them? Why are you using game terminology when I’m talking about real life? You might as well call scarves armour because they give +1 to protection.
When I wear in game, it gives me “Light Armour” perk. Does it mean my underwear is also armour? Use your brains, please. And just think about what you are saying.
Youre making no sense. You keep switching from “real life” definition to “in game” definition. We were just trying to humor you, but its time to stop. OP was asking about In game armor. In game, vambraces are arm armor. Please leave it at that and stop trying to re-define it.

And again, you didn’t read any of my comments and have no idea what you are talking about.
I do admit, that I don’t know propper terminology, due to the fact that English is not my native language. But come on! I explained everything, yet you still don’t understand.
Nope dis agree it is armor just look at it and imagine if an ax we’re to hit it could posibily fend of a blow
No it cannot 
Peace of leather is not armour. It’s just protective clothing.
That is the problem, yes.
It’s a problem not just with the word vambrace and bracer, armor often has several different words used to describe the same thing, or similar things. Then you have the foreign words for it, borrowed words, and corrupted borrowed words.
" As nouns the difference between bracer and vambrace is that bracer is that which braces, binds, or makes firm; a band or bandage while vambrace is the piece of armor designed to protect the arm from the elbow to the wrist. "
The above quote is from: https://wikidiff.com/bracer/vambrace
Srry I don’t know what I’m talking about just guessing I think I know what ur saying the definition of vambrace is clothing and not leather?
