Yes, because wizards can only wear robes in that item slot and if you want make your mage more resistant permanently to physical attacks, not counting rings/necklaces/cloaks of protection, this is your only solution, at least in Baldur's Gate. I don't know if they added other armor class robes in the enhanced edition. Dual-class and multi-class mages can equip more than robes, but they have to unequip it every time you want to cast a wizard spell with the character.

But if you have got like 100K gold and don't know where to spend it, buy this. Every player character starts with no gold and items in Baldur's Gate II, if you are trying to save money for your character next game.
