That's an excellent question.
We don't know much about the Huns - finds from the Era of Attila the Hun showed they wore Berkasova-style helmets with a Base Ring, a perfect example actually found in a Hunnicn Context being the Concesti.
We think they wore metal lamellae, and its recorded that they wore bone lamellae. They might also have worn leather lamellae.
All in all, they would have mostly been light horse archers, using lance-and-bow warfare (and Ammianus records them closing with swords too).
Here are some excellent images that represent Huns rather well.
