Sjadbek wears a full complement of flawless, enchanted orcish armor forged from the veins of Bilegulch mine, and wields an exquisite, unenchanted ebony mace and shield. He also wears a gold sapphire ring increasing carrying capacity by 15 points. Total armor rating is 623, which isn't maxed out but is good enough for me, and it would be out of character for him to wear daedric armor anyway.
Orcish Armor (Flawless) - increases heavy armor skill by 5
Orcish Boots (Flawless) - carrying capacity increased by 10
Orcish Gauntlets (Flawless) - increases heavy armor skill by 5
Orcish Helmet (Flawless) - restoration 5% less to cast
In town I switch to a set of fine clothes, the Band of Matrimony, and Steel Boots of Strength (carrying capacity increased by 35).
