📋 About This Mod
Truly light Glass Armor - Replacer
A GlassArmor a thieves, scout, and assassins could actually wear proudly. Female only.
Lore friendly, somehow sexy.
Textures are linked with the vanilla version (i.e. if you use a texture replacer it will affect also this armor),
while the under-armor leather suit has its own textures.
What is it? ______________________________________________________________
A replacer for the female vanilla glass armor.
Textures of the leather suit are especially made for this armor by OperatorCactus (the seams are 100% original).

Why are you claiming this is truly light? _______________________________________
A light armor should be planned to be silent, light, and avoid to prevent movements; no matter if
some parts of the body are poorly covered. That is: rigid plates should not cover mobile parts
(prevents movements), no jingling parts like chain mail or glass skirt (noisy), caution with mobile
joints (could be noisy and/or prevents movements).
A heavy armor is planned to cover the body completely as it is needed for a field battle; no matter
if it is bulky, heavy, noisy, and prevents some movements. I's only goal is to bring you home alive.
Therefore, vanilla Glass Armor looks actually as a heavy armor while it should be light.
About the material ________________________________________________________
Gathering the information about the Glass, and considering the shape the Glass armor took in the Elder Scrolls, it seems a very light, shatterproof and hard material. It is very hard to model, expecially in large pieces, so Glass is often covered by metal keeping the smaller pieces toghether that, anyway, make the most of the material of the armor. The ability of making large Glass pieces is higher in Cirodiil than Skyrim and in Morrowind it is much lower. The sound of the large Glass-metal pieces could be quite dull.
