Personally, my favorite depiction probably has to be the winterized combat armor from the Operation Anchorage DLC, which finds a neat balance between the sleekness of the classic Fallout designs and the more realistic modular look found in later games.

The Marine Combat armor from FO4, in the Far Harbour dlc.

Looks the best, IMO, and has the actual best stats across the entire series for Combat Armor. 😃

That armor would be a nightmare to move around in...

Fallout 2 era. Looked thicker, beefier.

I really like the Fallout 3/NV combat armor, with the rounded look and big shoulders.

Especially the Van Graff's customized version, in black.

Fallout 3's design is a nice, realistic look, although the sleeveless arms always looked a bit goofy to me. It will always hold a special place in my heart though, since Fallout 3 was my first.
