Good question. It still gives negative speed penalty, albeit a smaller -4%.
Not as much as the Heavy Armors (-10%), but still... feels weird to classify it as light if it slows you down, I thought they were introducing it as a medium class armor.

In traditional fantasy games, mages are known for not wearing armors that slow them down. So this speed penalty is just odd to me, it's just a robe.
And the Eitr hood actually requires 2 iron to craft and that is the only piece that does NOT slow you down. The iron(y)!!
