Some people should troll a little less, you're beginning to annoy me...
Ok, in seriousness, the best armour for an archer would be:
Felt Cap
Sarranid Leather Armour
Mail Gauntlets
Rus Cav Boots
But you'd look like an idiot really... The reasoning for these items is because it gives you 8/34/31 armour for 6.3 weight. It's got the best weight to armour ratio that I can find and keeps you below the weight limit.
What I personally use is:
Straw Hat
Leather Jerkin
Mail Gauntlets
Rus Cav Boots
As I have both the gauntlets and the leather jerkin heirloomed it gives me a total of 40 body armour, while the other stuff, having the same, body and hands fully heirloomed, it gives you 45 body armour.
In my opinion, to keep keep with having "good stats & a reasonable look" you're going to want to have the following:
Desert Turban
Sarranid Leather Armour
Mail Gauntlets
Sarranid Leather Boots
This will put you spot on 7 weight therefore not incurring any penalties to your archery wpf, but also give you the following stats without any heirlooms:
Head Armour: 14
Body Armour: 34
Leg Armour: 26
That's as good equipment as I could come up with that is inkeeping with a "look".
For weapons you're probably looking at going with the longbow, hammer & 2 stacks of Bodkin Arrows.

Trolling is good for your health. Can't be stubborn and boring all the time :wink:
On a serious note i have seen my old friendchers run around with that gear and Longbow recently. Everyone doesn't have to look the same. Even though it would be complete and utter WPF rape.

Go for the tennelook and ppl are too afraid to shoot you.

Says you who took me having to admin as an opportunity to stab me...
And besides, the Tenne clones thing has been done! D:
Edit: On top of that, what I just wrote to this guy is probably the best stats to weight ratio I could find. That took me an hour to work out.

Can you give me your schedule so i know when i can kill you since i broke my crystal ball...

The armour i used to wear consisted of extremely light armour.
White Tunic
Leather Gloves
Leather Boots
Longbow
Hammer
Bodkin Arrows
This paired with high athletics means you can run from most situations (staying a live, is an archers main insentive), managing to evade attacks due to high agi. However if you want medium archer wear then i would suggest:
Black/White Lamellar
Leather Gloves
Leather Boots
And some light helmet

Well since u just cry and don't want to be different and just be one of the masses here's a light crap gear which doesn't look arab-ish not too widely used.
Body Armor : Kaftan
Head Armor: Your choice what fits you the most but nothing obviously over the hoods. (imho nothing at all since it will barely barely at all help you. It's mostly for the style).
Hand Armor: Leather Gauntlets
Foot Armor: Rus Boots.
Bow: Depends. I would prefer a Horn Bow or a Tartar Bow since with it you will deal resonable damage and also be able to win pretty much every ranged duel there is.
Arrows: Tartar Arrows. Provides 18 Arrows instead of the 15 arrows in Bodkin Arrow quiver but at the difference of 1 pierce dmg. You'll probably will be able to live with it. Pick 2 of them if you decide to pick a 1 slot bow.
Secondary weapon: Your choice. I would suggest one of the 2handed/polearm 1 slot weapons. Langes Messer good length, damage, speed. Balanced weapon. Or fighting axe, good to chop enemy shields off and gives you reasonable dmg. Fighting Pick gives you pretty nice pierce dmg and that's pretty fast.
Personally i would've prefered a Langes Messer. If not i would go for a Steel Pick 1handed weapon.
(OMG I CAN EXPRESS MY OWN OPINIONS WITHOUT GETTING INTO A DEBATE I HOPEZ YAY).

i never had a heavier gear than my studded leather + skull cap + leather gloves. under 7 weight units so... full wpf for archery and sufficient body armor. you really don't need armor as an archer. you just need to not get shot or slaughtered and you'll be fine.
-
Studded leather would be OP if it wasn't so freaking ugly.

nah there are worse looking armors. i love that on the archer, on the thrower and even on the 2h when paired with good gauntlets.
45 body armor for 7 kilograms (so no wpf penalty and great running speed):
Studded Leather Coat
weight: 5
body armor: 30
leg armor: 10
difficulty: 8
Lordly Scale Gauntlets
weight: 1 (x2 for hands = 2)
body armor: 15
difficulty: 12

This...

And this.
I use Kettle Hat often on my Xbowman, Lamellar on my Archer.
Generally speaking, light armor for gloves and helmet help preserve accuracy on wpf, unless you fight closer up as an archer. Black hood is popular on archers... for looks, almost no armor value but its very light.

Baggy trolls for energy. He sleeps 3 hours if he had a succesfull troll day...
-
Light strange armor +3 + mail gauntlets +3 gets you 51 body 17 legs at a 7 wpf penalty. I think the cap is 7.5 so you can wear khergit leather boots for 51 body 31 legs. If you get hit in the head you're dead anyways.

Baggy is muted now. So his health is bad.

Sadly. However, when he still was in SoA he had enough by seriously trolling other clan members. Not sure what clan he went.

Tribal Warrior outfit, just pick whatever looks best to you for shoes and hat.

Obviously most of the time it's just choosing between what style you like, but here are my choices in CRPG for Archers.
If you get headshot as an archer it's almost 100% of the time going to kill you so hat/helmet choice isn't really important as far armor goes, but it's advised to use either no helmet/hats or use one with no weight such as these:

For body armor there's several choices and if you see something you like then go for it, but if you want maximum armor protection while having minimum weight these are my choices for the best:

There's plenty of choices for footwear as well, but I prefer these:

Really? I think it's the best looking out of the archer repertoire :P I've always used it for my archer chars.

regarding performance with a lordly light strange armor and lordly mail mittens you could have 48 body armor and 18 leg armor(due to the derp heirloomed light strange armor values) with 7 of weight, adding that with some leg armors(0 weight is +6, 0.5 weight is +14) you could reach
48 body armor
32 leg armor(36 with loomed boots)(0.5 weight leg armor)
7.5 weight(the penality starts at 7.7 iirc so you would have full wpf)
this would be insane for an archer(I'm not sure but I think jambi uses this)however you would look pretty ugly
-
red gambeson & mail gauntlets ftw.
I don't wear head armor. a) because I get to show off my skullet and b) you're probably going to get one shot in the head regardless of the armor you use since archers don't usually go with much IF.
-
don't forget you get 2x wpf penalty for gloves and 3x for helm. so your .5 mail gauntlets turn into 1 when used to calculate wpf penalty.

that's why studded leather coat (5 kgs) + leather gloves (0 kgs) + skull cap (0.5x3=1.5kgs) + nomad boots (0.5kgs) turns to have exactly 7kgs and no wpf penalty.
-
Afaik under 5 is a bonus/good to wpf, 5-10 is neutral 10+ is minus?
-
I use Leather Jerkin, Spiked Nomad Cap, Nomad Boots and Leather Gloves. I like the hunter style myself.

wrong. 7 kgs or less, no penalty. 7+ kgs, penalty.
-
I thought 10 + was a penalty? Not 7.
Reading through I see I was wrong. Interesting because Lamellar at 9.5 weight seems to show no penalties to me when compared with my steppe armour. Penalties must be quite small till a certain point.
