Take a look. Good luck trying to fight fight with upwards of 100 lbs. of steel hanging off you. Good on horseback, not when unmounted. Also, its' real purpose (like most other armor types) was to protect aganst  projectiles, not in a melee. Projectiles? Projectiles? are you serious! so your saying that mail (Virtually useless against a high power bow) was made to protect against projectiles? Boiled leather, is that not useful in a fight?

Plate armor is useless huh? what if you have trained your entire life in metal plate armor, then it's still heavy but not to you! Bodkin arrows can peirce any plate armor! Armor was made to defend against melee first! not projectiles, do you even know the uses of plate armor? only 3 items are strong enough to penetrate that (Im not including simply denting it) Bodkin arrows, Dirks/Saxe knives, and war picks!

You are perhaps the most unedacated person on this wiki about armor!
