Locations
Unenchanted pieces of armor will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 36 and enchanted variants can be found at level 37. However, some enchanted pieces may be found as low as level 29–31, and unenchanted pieces can begin to appear as early as level 26. Locations include:
- Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
- Found as random loot in chests or as a world item. "Boss" chests have a higher chance of spawning glass armor at lower levels.
- Thalmor patrols will begin wearing unenchanted glass armor after level 36, replacing the Elven armor that they wore previously.
Fixed locations
- Several sets are worn by the Thalmor soldiers and archers in Northwatch Keep after level 36.
- Two sets are worn by Thalmor soldiers in the Thalmor Embassy after level 36.

Trivia
- While there are no steel ingots required in crafting the glass armor, one can quite clearly see a chainmail shirt underneath the glass pauldrons and chainmail pants under the thigh protectors.
- Unlike Elven armor, which has a simple belt around the waist, the Glass Armor has a tooled and engraved leather waistband.
