Dragon Armor (Perk)

The Dragonplate and Dragonscale Armors can be found and crafted in Skyrim when you choose Dragon Smithing, which requires 100 skillpoints in Smithing to do.

Dragonplate Armor
A full set costs 10 Leather Strips, 13 Dragonscales and 6 Dragon Bones.

Versus Daedric
Of all the heavy armors, Daedric armor still beats dragon armors in rating, despite needing a higher skill to make the dragon armors. When freshly crafted at 100 skill and no enhancements, Daedric armor starts at a higher base armor value for all pieces. One reason that many may choose Dragon over Daedric is the availability of materials. Ebony can be extremely difficult to find, and is very costly per ingot. There are very few spawn points for Ebony, not to mention that the Daedric pieces all require a Daedric heart, which itself is extremely rare. When bought, a heart costs about 900 gold a piece. Dragon bones and scales, however, are free and you'll probably wind up getting a good stock of them just wandering around the wilderness. A single dragon usually provides enough stock for a single piece of equipment.

Dragonscale Armor
It takes 10 Leather strips, 4 Leather, 14 Dragonscales and 7 Iron Ingots to make a full set of Dragonscale (including shield)

Versus Glass
As far as light armors are concerned, the dragonscale armors start at a higher base armor than glass, meaning that it is the best available light armor. The same principles apply for materials: crafting a suit of glass armor can be easier and more cost effective compared to collecting dragon bits. Light versions use iron ingots instead of bone, which are cheap and can be found just about anywhere.
