How do you get male versions of armor? Are you on PC? Because I'm on Xbox, and wonder if that is possible.
What is your archer's armor and why?

Depending on your play style, level, difficulty, mods (if on pc), and among a few other things - you really don't require armor to play an effective archer. You could also play an archer who wears heavy armor. I use armor mods (when I do play), so I'm not sure I can comment on the type an archer I may play would wear.

Yep, I'm on PC. I don't know much of anything about Xbox's but, I know some hacks can be done on the Xbox. But I don't know if new meshes and textures can be added. There might be someone here that knows if it can be done. There's not too many female armor mods out there that uses altered parts of male armor models, the one I have is just about the only one I've seen.

Weird, just last night I was gonna bring this topic back from the dead xD
Anyways, for males I'd go with this mod: Crimson Ranger Armour
And for females, this mod: Grace Darklings Ranger Armour

Play a Male character. If the armor has a Male version, it automatically reverts to it when you put it on.

Old thread, but was just searching the internet on opinions/ideas.
My wood elf archer only wears fur armor (enchanted for higher light armor rating) or the hooded green tunic (Going all Robin Hood, yo).
Also agree on the Linwe armor. That just looks sweet.
Only talking Xbox here, so I don't have the PC Mods.

There's something I like about the Dark Brotherhood, Elven Light Armor combo. Shrouded Cowl with gilded Elven Light, Elven gauntlets, DB muffle boots.
That gold and Black just looks sweet to me. The gilded gives you a pretty good armor rating. Works well for an archery first melee second kind of character. I like sniping from the mountains, and then running in dual wielding enchanted maces to finish off the last couple banditos.

How do you backstab a Dragon?
On humans I like leather - just works and enchanted, even better. I actually prefer the look of vampire armor, especially the grey.
On Altmer - usually it's elven armor (although it's a bit precious most of the time)
On Bosmer or Dunmer I like the vampire (especially the red or cream coloured)
On Argonians - the scaled every time
On Khajit - I usually don't wear armor. I like any sort of dark outfit with a Alik'r hood. They actually aren't too bad in the imperial light either. Something about the fit that works.
Of course there's always the nightingale or TG armours, but I'm talking about early on before you get the good stuff.
I stay away from the hide and fur armours. They're fine on warrior classes, but I just feel like an archer needs to be a bit more sleek.

Any pure archer build I make is also a hunter and all my hunters wear fur armor with forsworn gauntlets and boots. Reason, I think it looks cool and it's very light and mobile.

I used to go with nightingale armour and boots, with different gauntlets and helmet/cowl with archery enchantments on them.
But my character is now in stuff she made herself, and I have made the exact copy of all items for my follower Annekke.
Dragonscale armour with fortify health (legendary)
Dragonscale helmet with fortify archery 36% (legendary)
Dragonscale gauntlets with fortify archery 36% (legendary)
Dargonscale boots with fire resist (legendary)
Dragonbone bow does 25% shock damgae and half as much magicka (legendary)
Dragonbone sword does 25%shock damage and half as much magicka (legendary)
Ring of archery bows do 35% more damage
Amulet of Talos, or amulet of fire resist, or amulet of shock resist
I also use enhanced dwarven cross bow with 25% shock damage and half as much magicka damage (Legendary)

She packs a mean punch for sure.
Especially when I team it with the exploding bolts

I don't know if we are talking about a pure archer or a ranger build but either way I prefer light armor. There are just too many times especially in caves where you get cornered and have to melee or turtle your way back out. Having some mitigation is too paramount for me. That being said I have a little more of a defensive mentality so I'm a bit bias to having more armor.
Dawnguard Light Armour (Archery and Stamina Regen enchants) with Apprentice Hood (Fortify Magicka). Bound Bow with Mystic Binding and Oblivion Binding perks.
Tends to work pretty well once I've got Stendarr's Aura protecting me from anything getting close and Mjoll smashing in anything she sees.
