"Leather armor is the lightest armor a character can wear. While leather provides less protection than chain or plate armor, it also slows your character down the least. Leather armor skill increases the protection offered by leather armor."
Leather is a skill in Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer that increases the effectiveness of leather armor. Necromancers, Clerics, Knights, and Minotaurs can learn expert leather, Trolls, Dark elves, and Vampires can learn master leather, and War trolls can learn grandmaster leather.
