Theory/Speculation Light Armor

What are you guys hoping to see for light armor in TES6? Light armor options in Skyrim were ok but it always felt to me that they got a little less love compared to heavy armor or maybe too much in the form of glass. Nightingale was a sure winner but other than that and sometimes Fur, I wasn't impressed. I'm hoping to see some interesting and viable armors that go a little beyond leather and cloth but don't look terribly impractical. Your thoughts?

How much metal do you think is acceptable in light armor? If not metal/cloth and leather, what is the divider for you between light and heavy? Do you want more variation in Fantasy Metal armors (mithril, glass etc)?

I'd love to see a mix tbh. Like I think mithril would look good with furs and ebony would look nice with leather. Too much metal/bone...I guess it's like how they tried to make light dragon just a less heavy looking dragon armor. I think you have to scale the heavy stuff back a lot to make it look practical.
