Armor is a type of apparel found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. When worn, armor increases a character's armor rating and thus helps to
reduce the overall damage inflicted from physical attacks. In addition to offering protection from physical attacks, armor can be enchanted
to grant additional types of protection, to bolster certain skills, or to increase stats such as Stamina, Health and Magicka.

Damage reduction
Armor increases the Dragonborn's armor rating, which decreases how much physical damage is dealt to them. The maximum damage reduction is capped at 80%, which is achieved:
◾ When wearing 4 pieces of armor plus a shield: 542 armor rating.
◾ 4 pieces of armor or less without a shield: 567 armor rating.
◾ Not wearing any pieces of armor: 667 armor rating. (Can only be achieved using shield spells such as Stoneflesh and Ironflesh)
