Default armor is Wolf school. And Wolf diagrams and other items are coming in DLC (placeholders have been found in the game code, but trying to enable them via console just brings up blanks). I'm assuming it'll be part of the "16 DLC's" thing but I want it now since all the armors suck and make him look like a court jester
I believe the ''dress'' part of it was to make it less predictable with your movements to the enemy, and it's not that hard to move around in. Don't quote me on it though.

That's why the hakama is traditionally worn in Japanese martial arts... It lets you keep shuffling your feet without telegraphing where you're going. The pleats are even intentionally asymmetrical to accommodate a stance with a front and back foot.

bear 1 and 2 just looks so stylish
while 3 and 4 just go kinda silly. I mean really, two metal rings on the chestpiece, that's somehow supposed to count as ringmail now, and what's up with that puke colored scarf?
Where is the fur? Why did they remove fur and replace it with ugly scarf? Whyyyyyyyyyy!?
The cat armor is pretty cool, if it's design wasn't so cluttered and busy.
It's not only the designs themselves that are disappointing. Geralt sword aren't even properly attached like you can see above. In TW2 this was done excellently.
I rly wonder why nobody is raging about the god dammed style of the griffin school gear? Someone took a look at it?
I crafted every armor and the stats of the griffin would have been the best for my play style but for the love of god i cant wear this s***
Im rly sry CDPR. I rly want to believe u guys worked hard and u wanted to make us happy (i rly rly do!) but the design of armors in TW3 is incredible bad!
The only 4 armors I only wear through the WHOLE game was geralts default armor, the temerian one (which was rly great designed like armors in WT2), the ursine school gear and the feline school gear.
This is just a shame. In TW2 I couldnt rly decide which armor I should wear. I can remember when I wear on Dark Mode on act3 Rabes Armor. Jesus, this one still incredible looking. Oathbreakers Gear and Vran-Armor was incredible too. IT WAS AWESOME! But there were a lot of other armors which fit very well for me.
On TW3 there were only 4 armors I liked despite the amount of available armors you could found.

Where do I get Bear armour diagram? I like it's look a lot, at first I wanted to go with "light armour" because it 'fits' Witcher from lore perspective and I hoped it will look nice but so far they make Geralt look like a fat-ass with a beer belly... Unlike the Bear armour which actually looks great.
Cidarian chest plate is probably my favorite armor for Geralt. I agree about the rondels, even if they are historically accurate of medieval armors.
I currently wearing Bear armor chest with Cat armor: legs, boots, gloves. For this combination I chose yellow perk for light armor and whole set looks very good together and of course gave you decent armor with bear chest. I don't like only one thing on bear armor. For me first Bear chest looks awesome , second is fine and I don't like much third and fourth becouse that scarf hide a wolf medailon.

Im digging the bear school armor. Waiting for that upgrade to 4 so I can pretend to be Jon Snow

Someone shoudl really explain to me why a light armor has chainmail and a lot of protections.
It seems...heavy, to me. Based cat armor has a very good design with a lot of potential, but this?

Geralt doesn't need to be badass. He really needs only a black leather medieval doublet.

This is something that would fit Geralt.

Sadly, the default armor isn't that good.
My biggest grip with Armors in the Witcher 3, is that almost none of them have any bags nor coin purses attached to them, and the swords are not even property attached neither.
The Witcher 2 did a way better job at that. Most amours there really fitted the Witcher theme, here there are simply way too many armor just for the sake of quantity in stead of quality....
