Is haveing full bear armor worth it?

[Wolfsblood]

i agree with galen on the need, or lack thereof, for boots on an archer becuase u are just not gonna get hit there as often as anywhere else. (i still where it though cuase my feet get cold )

as to the usefulness of bear armour; not only is it smexy as hell, when in a shield wall it is nice to be able to take those extra few hits and survive instead of dying. when you are not in  a shield wall i would go with light armour. depends on what you are doing in the end.
