Medium Armor is the middle option for protection in ESO. It is ideal for players who favor abilities from the Weapon Skills Lines as it enhances Stamina, Stamina Recovery and Weapon Critical. Players opting for a stealthy approach to the game will also use this Armor type, as it enhances this as well. A full set of Crafted Superior Medium Armor at VR12 will net you 1326 Armor (without taking into consideration Traits). That value will be slightly less if your set isn't crafted. This is roughly 150% the value of a full set of Light Armor and 67% the value of a full set of Heavy Armor (assuming you have rank III Resolve).
