The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt includes several types of Armor that Geralt can customize to his liking. Armor includes the Chest, Gloves, Trousers, and Boots. Armor can often be found in containers around the land, looted off enemies, or purchased from Armorers and sometimes Blacksmiths (though only Armorers can help Geralt craft armor if he has the right Crafting materials.
Use the links below to jump to the armor type you want to learn more about.

Armor comes in three types, Light, Medium, and Heavy. Each offers it's own strengths and weaknesses, especially when combined with certain Character Abilities, as heavier armor will give you more defense, but might not offer as much bonuses to Signs as medium armor.
Armor will also have varying stats, though certain kinds will have fixed types of bonuses, but at varying percentages of defense against certain attacks.
Below is a list of armor, the materials it takes to craft, and more. (Base Armor Rating will be taken from crafting results when applicable)
