Cloth armour.... is it really worth it ?

[Ganthan]

Just a quick question for a level 11 mage, and any other INT casters who need this answered:

Is there much point to buying yourself a full kit of cloth armor? Will it really help you that much at these low levels to take less damage?

I guess what im saying is, does the AC bonus justify spending your money on cloth armor? Or save for something better in your late teens/20's.
