in baldur’s gate 3Barbarians are an incredibly formidable class to have in your party, as they can serve as effective vanguards and ranged attackers. Although they are good as tanks and can do quite a bit of damage at close range, the most powerful way to play Barbarians is as a thrower. Bonus action can be used for throwing attackssynergizes well with many gear options.
Barbarians can gain some benefits by wearing clothing, but the most powerful choices will always be those with a higher armor class. in this case, Barbarians have access to incredibly strong medium armorIn my opinion, this outweighs the benefits of using clothing. Barbarian Thrower also gets 3 levels in Fighter, so you can take advantage of Heavy Armor if you need it.
10 cloak of displacement
inflict a disadvantage on the enemy
Cloak of Displacement can be purchased or stolen in Act 3 with Danthelon’s Dancing Ax in Wyrm’s Crossing. Cloak of Displacement gives enemies disadvantage on attack rolls against the wearer and can prevent the player from taking damage. However, the effect ends if the target takes damage. However, it reactivates at the start of the wearer’s next turn.

Since you have already started the battle with low HP,. As such, Cloak of Displacement is a great option to keep the barbarian standing for as long as possible if the other party members have no objections.
