As of now, you end up in the padded armor because it's just better and in it, the swamp, mountains, black forest and meadows becomes trivial.

That's just not true. I have a set of fully upgraded padded armor that sits in a chest collecting dust because I don't like how it looks and it's TOTAL OVERKILL. With baked goods and silver armor you still barely even notice getting hit by regular fulings or deathsquitos. Like literally seconds after getting hit you're back at 100% health just from passive food regen. I wear a silver helm and chest with a linen cape and iron greeves 'cause I think that outfit looks pretty decent. Also played with someone who does the end content in full iron with a lox cape and they're also not having any issues. I've cleared a half dozen fuling camps and they've never killed me.
