Funny thing, armor is not nearly as heavy as it is showed. The heaviest armor, not counting the gold armor as IRL it would be insanely heavy due to the weight of gold, would be the iron armor, whose real counterpart would be full steel plate armor. Steel armor is in fact lighter than most military gear nowadays, and weight is not a problem but rather agility is the main drawback. From personal experience, one can move pretty quick in armor, run and even do frontflips. The problem came when trying to move around, the rivets would limit the bending/ extending and flexing in my arms. The correct way of classifying them would be according to mobility, plate existence and number of plates, shape and cloth/ leather/ gambeson in the armor.
