📋 About This Mod
This mod adds sleeves and pants to hide, studded, leather, and scaled armors. All credit goes to FranklinZunge who has graciously granted permission to provide this compilation of his four mods, previously released as stand-alone armors. The appearance of the base armor is dependent on your own textures (vanilla, aMidianBorn, etc.).
I do like the hide and leather vanilla armors, but the lack of sleeves and pants while I'm bundled in a cloak and building campfires for Frostfall annoyed me. I'm a huge fan of all of FranklinZunge armors and clothes, and have been using these in particular for a long time. So for anyone who might have missed out on his work previously or didn't want to have to manually make the changes to use them as replacers, here they are.
There may be some clipping between the sleeves and gloves and elsewhere. This is not my work, nor do I know how to fix or change anything, so these are offered as is.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,516 endorsements and 42k downloads—clearly a popular choice.
- Fills a real gap: light armor in vanilla looks impractical for cold climates, and this fixes that.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only covers four armor types—if you use other light armors, they'll remain unchanged.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you test it.
For Skyrim players who want their light armor to look more sensible for the harsh northern climate. If you're a roleplayer or immersion enthusiast, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer flashy or skimpy armor mods—this is all about practicality.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, load it after any mods that change the same armor meshes to ensure it takes effect.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily toggle it on/off if you encounter conflicts.
- Check the mod's comments section for user reports on compatibility with popular armor overhauls.
