This armor was made for Nords in mind, as it doesn't seem to prepared for winter weather, unless their wearer is. The dark fur may be from a wolf's hide, or was just dyed for artistic purposes. It's fastenings allow for a tighter fit and lets the wearer move faster with it. Combat is in mind for this armor, with a rudimentary sword breaker on the left pauldron. It has a layered helmet with some metal bracing, a harnessed vest that ends in a skirt, and black fur layered underneath. Skyrim's leather variant is stranger than that of Cyrodiil's version. Another trait is the open-faced helm that many heartland armors share. There are gauntlet variants of the gloves, but they aren't as common. It seems most suited for the mountains near Bruma, and the dark caves throughout Cyrodiil. Bandits and mercenaries use it as simple and durable survival gear. It seems to merely be a layered kind of clothing, with the leather on top. It's stitched design could allow for simple repairs, yet it can be uncomfortable in the muggy swamps of south Cyrodiil. Leather armor in Cyrodiil is cheap and good for it's woodlands. This kind is much stronger but heavier compared to the normal type. A different variant has the leather boiled into a semi-cuirass and full faced helmet.
Ashlander nomads use it in Vvardenfell's tough environment, as it is both comfortable and strong in build. Ever since the Chimer settled there, generations of elves have used their tough hides as a substitute to the mammal ones in the heartland.
One such creature is the Netch, a large floating jellyfish-like creature that is common in the lands surrounding Vivec. In the land of Morrowind, particularly Vvardenfell, isolation and magical ash have lead to strange animals living in it's harsh environment. Tamriel's many beasts have suitable hides for tanning, so it is overall inexpensive and easy for armorsmiths to make. It is common for the standard rouge or adventurer, but has it's own place as armor for nomads and hunters. Leather is the next stage on the light armor scale, being superior to Fur in craftmanship.
