With dex 18 they have a base AC of 6. The kit has a +2 AC bonus bringing it down to 4. A ring of protection +2 and a ring of gaxx sets it to AC0 which isn't too bad. Then the cloak of the sewer and dusty rose loun stone set it to -2. You can also find a shield amulet in Nalias keep which comes with 40+ charges of base AC set to 4, which gives them an AC of -8. If the amulet runs out you can sell it to a storekeep and buy it back to recharge it. Don't forget the mages spirit armor spell which sets the AC to 1 which would give an overall AC of -11 which is cool.
The to hit and damage bonuses far outweigh the lack of wearing armour, and gauntlets of weapon skill/expertise are pretty much irrelevant when he gets +1 to hit and +1 damage every 3 levels. As for using bracers to increase strength, there are only the gauntlets of ogre power (18/00) and girdles can still be worn to increase strength high than this anyway.
