Skyrim: Mountable Rider Armour

The Forge at Riders' Lodge

The Rider amrour can obly be made at the forge in the cellar of the Riders' Lodge, just like Skyforge armour is only made in Whiterun.

Many chest pieces are effectively pauldrons with extra chest straps (to attach a two-handed weapon). The straps alone can also be made and worn separately. A choice of belts for users of one-handed weapons, too.

Some styles have tall boots to regain some of the protection lost by exposing the breasts and torso. The design allows the bear to be rewarded without the need to remove any of the items. This helps the bear associate the reward with the combat, rather than its rider undressing.

The mage 'robes' can be made at the forge, using linen wraps, but they will need to be enchanted elsewhere. The enchantments on college robes are not easy to replicate without high levels of skill.

You can also make Vampire pieces, but will not be able to temper them, just like the regular vampire armors and robes.

Notes

No bears (or riders) were harmed in the making of this page. They probably enjoyed it.
All chest pieces use slot 46, except for the satchel (56). This means the satchel can be combined with the others.
In general the chest piece uses half the main material of the full regular armour, and provides half the protection. The tall version of boots use4s 50% more material for a similar gain in protection.
The Dremora, Aureal, and Mazken characters are playable with my Playable Daedric Races mod, which is NOT required by this one. Those races already exist in Skyrim AE, but are not normally available for character creation.
Any race can equip any of the styles. You do not have to be a Vampire to wear that style.
