i always thought difficulty of all armours should be increased ~~ 30%, and the weight of all armours should be increased by ~~20%
gauntlets should also be given a flat rate of armour
(give leather and mail mittens have 0.5 weight, 2 armour,
lamellar gauntlets, scale gauntlets etc 1 weight, 4 armour,
plate gauntlets, black gauntlets etc, 2 weight and 6 armour)
getting 16 body armour from 2 weight is frankly ridiculous and should've been changed years ago.
