well id say there are reasons not to wear armor in everyday life 1) you gotta keep that thing clean that can be a lot of work 2) it may get damaged unnecesarily 3) it does exhaust you faster so if you gotta do actual work like plowing fields you are better off not wearing it. Sure you CAN but you would be more effective at work if you didnt 4) overheating. In special in summer the armor heats up in the sun and keeps you inside very warm. it can be an issue to overheating and more than that its very uncormfortable 5) if you do not have someone to help you, you would loose about 1 hour each day just to get in and out of armor

Also people often don't take into account the distribution of weight when wearing armour. It's not like a backpack weighing >20kg but rather a few kilos on the arms, a few on the shoulders, a few on the hips and a few on the legs. At least with maille you can distribute a lot of weight on the hips. Don't know about plate. I don't wear maille often but once most of the weight is on my hips I don't really notice it's there and can still sprint. Although currently I only wear a corselet so that's relatively light compared to a hauberk, coif and maille hose

Look at all that movement! Its almost as if it was made to fight in....

Piers Bellman - I don't know if that was a joke, but if it wasn't; boiled leather armor was very common through history since it helped serve as a cheap replacement for metal. It could either be used in large pieces to replicate late or transitional plate or in small pieces as scale or lamellar.

+115236214456021050179 Youre wrong. Leather is almost as expensive as metal. Even up to 20th century real leather costed so much that people had 1 shoes for the rest of their life. There are no sources of boiled leather armour being used in form of transitional plate pieces. We only have survivals or upper arm leather protection and depiction that only suggests that it is leather leg protection. lamellar leather, however, existed. It was not medieval though. It is ancient choice of armour.

Plate armor is usually 20 KG. This alone already is a pretty small weight (around the weight of a 6 year old child), and considering that the weight is distributed around your entire body, you quickly realize how light it is.

What people think about Plate armor is Tournament armor. Tournament armors were generally the more restricting and heavier versions of Knightly armor, whereas Plate armor especially Combat armor was often lighter and allowed full mobility.

So how could it be that appearance of firearm ended something that didn't even exist? Moreover existence of firearms did not prevent invention of full plate armor. By the way properly hardened armor could withstand not only small firearms but even hand cannons. Almost three centuries full plate armor and firearms co-existed. So it was not firearms that ended armor era. It was introduction of mass conscription instead of small professional armies of knights or mercenaries. Masses overcome professionals. Armor was to expensive and technologically complicated to be produced in large numbers. Moreover, it required individual fitting. But as soon as technology allowed to produce cheaper armor which is not require individual fitting we see that armor returned to battlefields - firstly helmets, and than vests.

Thumbs up for that ending. You took the instructions all the way.

This was wonderful and informative, thank you.

Best 2017 youtube discover ! It's amazing and very interesting. Thank you for your work !

In my humble opinion, weight only becomes greatly cumbersome when it is equivalent to more than 40% of your body mass, which this armour doesn't. Also, the articulation has been shown to be sufficient. The video has proved it's point, nobody can argue with that.

Full plate typically only weighs around 30-40lbs.....that is about the same weight as modern combat kit. However, plate armor's weight was better distributed across the body. It's not surprising that armored knights and men at arms are able to move easily.

No that's an underestimation. 44-60 lbs is a far better generalization.

7dayspking For people of average height, I'd say 40-50 lbs, but yes the guy who said 30-40lbs must be considering early plate armour that doesn't even cover the whole body and might not even be able to stop a bodkin.

Never gets old. Experimental proof is the best proof. It would be interesting to see someone try similar maneuvers in the full, heavy plate used at the end of the jousting period. The comparison would be interesting.

It seems I have underestimated the ingenuity of our ancestors.

Thanks for this video. It answers questions I didn't know I had. Cheers!

Especially liked the Travolta moves at the end. Bravo!

so, you're saying that there is no physical problem for to go to work in armor?! GREAT!

Lovely demonstration. I wonder how it would compare to a Yorai (16c Japanese Samurai armour). I guess the latter is on average 20% lighter, but the main point is, that it is quite different in how it's attached to the wearer. Another worthy comparision would be renaissance medium armour (gambesson with brigandine and mail+ bracers and grieves).

I love the writings and how you demonstrated a knights feats from long ago. Im sure he would be proud.

What's with the long pointy toes on the original armor?

@Gwaryan

Armour was just as much of a fashion statement as a way of protecting yourself. In the fifteenth century pointy shoes for the nobility were very popular, so they showed up on armour too. Not all of them were that long though!

fighting back then was very similar to how it is now. They didn't fight to perform, they fought to win fights/battles/wars. You teach someone the most efficient way to kill someone that you can discover, and that almost always turns to close-quarters grappling. Medieval fighting looks more like a tavern brawl than a pretty looking sword-fight. If someone widely swings a sword, close in to the hilt so it doesn't hit you, take out his legs, throw him on his ass and then press a sword into his throat until he stops fighting back. Also, btw, knights were just more like special people. You were knighted for being famous, a friend to the court, etc., Lil' Wayne would be a Knight for bringing 'beautiful art' to the kingdom. And Knights just had more money available, and could easily afford a full suit of good armor that was the equivalent to buying a Lexus. Being a Knight didn't necessarily mean you were a great warrior, but if you can afford classes from a great warrior who was given a castle for his deeds, you were probably better than most others who just learned from written manuscript directions they were forced to read when enlisted in the military.

Depends on the time period afaik, in medieval times knights were always fighters, but they were at the same time nobles. Later the status was not dependent on fighting.

Man, medieval French is something else. The vocabulary is just close enough you can sort make it out but the pronunciation is completely different.

I'm a fifteenth century re-enactor and an enthusiastic boulderer, so this video pleases me a great deal.

seems like over the ages armor evolved more to provide flexibility than to be stronger.. that's not to say that later armors *weren't* stronger. also, they seemed to emphasize covering up gaps in the plates better. interestingly, as armor evolved this way, swords also evolved to become much more pointy and thinner in order to better pierce those gaps as the grew smaller. lots of people don't realize that sword fighting against armored knights didn't involve big sweeping thrusts with the sword, so much as quick stabbing strokes at the vulnerable spots. of course, these better suits of armor also led to weapons with spikes like warhammers becoming more popular. (these are just my thoughts.. i could be wrong; i'm no expert)
