I really want a hood/cowl that offers an armor bonus, but to my knowledge the only ones available are through the Thieves' Guild or the Dark Brotherhood. I'd like for my character to be able to wear a hood AND still benefit from the Light Armor perks. Are there any other hoods in the game that I can obtain without having to join the two rogues' guilds? I'm on Xbox, so I can't use a console command. Also, if there is a Light Armor hood that is smithable/enchantable, that would be even better.

I love the wolf helmet that stormcloak generals have. It's light armor.
But the only way to get it, as I know of is joining the imperials, to fight stormcloaks.

or the otherway around

How? I'm with the stormcloaks, and I have never seen a stormcloak general fall. Can't even say that I have seen one for that matter. Just regular grunts.

Isn't Wolf armor for the companions? Stormcloaks have a Bear helmet I think.

Ever heard of stealth kills? I have killed a lot of people (guards etc), and haven't had a bounty yet ha.

Yeah, might be a bear head hehe.

Some of the dragon priest masks are light armor

You eventualy unlock.

ive looked like crazy my only clue is that there is aparently a unique item called leather hood but the guide doesnt say where it is at all just that it exists so maybe that will
other than that try to find a bandit that robs you they have a mage hood that you can enchant

I know Krosis has a light armor hood.
It's quite decent.

Bumping this thread because I was about to ask the same thing. Anyone know where I can find a leather hood?
