I'd just like to note that Iron armor already has more damage reduction and effect resistance than Military of equal quality last i checked. Light armor sacrifices in those categories in return for less movement/stamina penalty reductions compared to heavy armor.

Just 'cause it's harder to get steel armor doesn't mean you should just avoid heavy armor till you can get steel. :) It's a game of tradeoffs- Do you want to take less damage and get crits less often, Or do you want maximum mobility and not have such a hit to stamina regen?
