The "AC+x" rating measures the efficacy of the armour.  Thus, for instance, a Dwarf in chain mail would have AC(3) because his natural armour class is 8, and the chain mail (AC+5) adds 5 to his rating.

The "Type" displays the weight class of the armour. "C" is "clothing" weight, "L" is lightweight, "M" is medium weight, while "H" is heavyweight armour. Certain character classes are limited to medium or even lightweight armour.
