Stormcloak Cuirass

The Stormcloak Cuirass is the main piece of armor worn by Stormcloak soldiers.

It has a blue cloth that wraps around the quilted armor underneath it with leather belts fastening around the torso. It also has chain mail underneath the quilted part of the armor for extra protection.

Helmets

The Stormcloak soldiers can spawn with one of three different helmets.

• Stormcloak Helmet — The same style as most Skyrim city guard helmets. It has a blue cloth that merges with the blue cloth of the Stormcloak Cuirass.

• Hide Helmet — Has the same armor value as the Stormcloak Helmet. Just has a different appearance.
• Scaled Helmet — Has a higher armor value and price than either of the other two helmets. Has two horns on the front of the helmet, making it much more prominent.

Fur Gauntlets and Boots

Stormcloak soldiers also wear fur boots and gauntlets. These are not to be confused with fur equipment commonly used by Bandits, fur shoes and fur bracers.

Shields

As with helmets, Stormcloak shields can vary in material and armor value, and are selected from three different types.

• Hide Shield — Somewhat weaker than the other heavy shields, Hide Shields nevertheless provide adequate defense to Stormcloaks in battle.
• Iron Shield — A very basic, heavy shield. Very common among Stormcloaks.
• Steel Shield — Heavier than the Iron Shield, but with a higher armor rating. Rarer than the other shields.

Trivia

• While wearing the armor in Stormcloak-control Holds, guards will comment on this positively; conversely, if the armor is worn in an Imperial Hold, the guards will express disgust. Despite what the dialogue suggests, nothing will come of wearing the armor in Imperial cities otherwise.
  • However, if the Dragonborn wears the armor while speaking to Captain Aldis, Aldis will uniquely accuse them of being a Stormcloak. The Dragonborn can then either deny this or double down; if the latter option is taken, the Dragonborn will receive a 40 bounty, and he and the city guards will become hostile.
