Glass armor
From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion
Glass armor is the strongest form of light armor in Tamriel. The Dunmer are the masters of light armor design, and glass armor is the pinnacle of that design. Inspired by traditional High Elven ornate armors, this very expensive armor is studded with native volcanic obsidian glass. Remarkably light and flexible, glass armor absorbs and distributes shock better than steel while providing enough flexibility to grant the wearer a superior range of movement.
Like all the better armor in the game you must be a certain level for the armor to appear on NPC's and in chests. Glass armor has a level requirement of 20. This only goes for armor however, glass weapons appear much earlier.
The unique volcanic properties of glass armor creates a greenish glow at night. Daedric armor also glows red at night.
