5. Sample Data Implementation (MVP)

| Armor Piece | Type | Armor Rating | Warmth Rating | Coverage Rating | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Fur Helmet | Light | 10 | 75 | 30 | | Iron Helmet | Heavy | 15 | 40 | 40 | | Dragonscale | Light | 41 | 50 | 65 | | Daedric | Heavy | 108 | 15 | 80 | | Cloak (Linen) | Misc | 0 | 50 | 100 |

3. Warmth Rating Hierarchy (From Worst to Best)

Armor types are not created equal. Generally, the heavier the armor’s physical protection, the worse its warmth. This creates a strategic trade-off: combat defense vs. environmental defense.

Warmth Values by Armor Type (Examples)

Values are approximate from game data; exact numbers can vary slightly by piece but follow this hierarchy:

"I am planning a trek to the Throat of the World. Usually, I would wear my best armor—Daedric. But using the Survival Insight feature, I see that Daedric has a terrible Warmth rating. I swap my chest piece for Stalhrim Armor (which has high inherent frost resistance and warmth) and keep my Daedric gauntlets and boots for the fight. The feature tells me I will remain 'Comfortable' up to the 7000 steps, but I will need a cloak for the summit."
