The Germans always have had a thing with heavy armor. I like how even heavily constructed, it still has artistic flourishes.
well they were made for protection and not war, warriors prefer mostly open helmets just not when the only danger is a lance, thats all you need,but yeah i prefer sallet to
Most knights wouldn't have had such shiny plate armour as it emerged thanks to the evolution in metallurgy only in the late middle ages, but rather mail.
Combat field plate armour is quite light compared to other armours or what a modern soldier carries today, around 20 to 25kg, the upper weight limit being 30kg, all distributed evenly on the body. Jousting harness like the one above were often heavier but protection was in this case more important than endurance or mobility.
"Naked" armor (polished bare metal) was quite popular in the late medieval period into the renaissance, and came from France.
Tournament armor is heavier than field armor... Yea I love Sallets...

Another documentary piece that is style over content.
Almost don't even need a man in it. The armour does most of the work.
