@ahmadov Actually it's transitional armour which consists of a full set of maille with plate over it. The later plate armours merely have maille reinforcing the areas plater can't cover, making it lighter than transitional armour.
Notice how he says it weighs 80 pounds. Later plate armour weighs about 50 pounds, only approaching and eventually surpassing 80 from 1550 to 1650as it gets thicker and thicker to remain bulletproof.
LOL Well Bert2368 that's funny that you bring that up!
Well some modern Troops have more stuff on! My friend was in Iraq with 90 lbs of equipment!!! Dude, Knights had about 45 to 85 lbs of equipment (yes that's with armor on too) Fire men has about 80 to 115 of equipment!!! And yet they can move!
So a solider and a knight will not be weigh down on it...
In fact most European Knights and some troops were required to perform a full gymnastic while wearing their armor...
so they tire out faster, i do agree that with practice armor can be anything but a hinderance, thats why they used it...it also compensated for the use of heavy weapons like claymores and such
this set of armor is mostly chain not plate armor

It looks like an Aikido ukemi roll. Even the way you get up. Could be wrong.
