Witcher Gears are the best armor sets you can get in the game because of the additional set bonus provided once you are wearing all 6 of them. They can also be upgraded to the more-powerful Master versions, and you can push the upgrades up to Grandmaster if you have the Blood & Wine DLC.
Not only that, but they can be further improved by starting a New Game+ to unlock the Legendary version of the items, with even better stats. However, this will require you to start the game all over again and look for each diagram to make the Legendary armor available for crafting.
Wolven armor is a medium-weight gear that gives the most balanced stats for both offense and defense among all the witcher gears. The bonus effect from this Witcher Gear allows you to apply multiple oils to your sword at the same time and makes your bomb throw more faster.
