Most assassins look like that buddy. The reason they prefer light and dark armor is so that it's very difficult for them to be spotted (especially at night). This makes it easier for them to assassinate, pick pockets, stealth in the shadows, etc. And the reason it's so light is because they need as much speed/agility as they can if they get in trouble.

I don't think I've ever seen an assassin wearing bright neon colored clunky plate armor with a sign over his head that reads: "I STOLE 200 GOLD, COME GET ME!" xD
