Thinking about it, Ser Loras Tyrell did wear this armor in the Battle of the Blackwater, so it can’t be too bad in combat. You could argue it shouldn’t be on the list because of this reason but I think the awesome appearance warrants it a place in the top 10. Renly was never going to be a great warrior, his armor had to be a bit more attractive than effective in battle. Theon’s variant is pretty much the same as all others, except his has shoulder plates & slightly lighter colors. The mixture of dark colors suits the Ironborne well and the kraken sigil is intimidating to behold. It looks extremely badass too, the Game of Thrones backroom staff got this spot on.Īlthough Theon’s Greyjoy armor is the best of them all, the ordinary soldier attire is one of the coolest looking armor sets in Game of Thrones.

Ser Loras Tyrell was famous throughout Westeros as the Knight of Flowers, immediately recognisable by his armor. This list will look at the top 10 best armor seen in the Game of Thrones TV show, for both individual characters and standard army foot soldiers! It all depends on where you come from if you’re a normal soldier, men with gold in their purse have the fortune of getting armor custom made for their preferences. Not all armor is a combination of heavy plates of steel, some favor mobility or ceremonial aesthetics.

Having a good set of armor is clearly a necessity when it comes to war, it’ll make the difference between life and death. ‘Cause Trant had armor…and a big ****ing sword”. As the Hound once said “your friend is dead and Meryn Trant’s not.
