I try to keep my rangers in some sort of leather armor, but Minsc seems more a berserker than a ranger so I usually put him in some plate. The red dragon plate is good. Night's Gift is Leather armor +5 with a stealth bonus, I usually use that for my ranger. Shadow dragon scale also is good seeing that it allows stealth and has a reasonable AC.

Can an elf get a break anywhere these days?
