Everyone has a base armour-class (AC) of 8. By donning armour, you improve your character’s armour class. Shields also improve armour-class, but only in one direction—that is, they are no help against sneak-attacks.
In addition to improving your armour-class, different armour provides better protection against different types of weapons.
