    Granted, a good prop/costume department can make anything cheap look good.

    Yes, but good prop departments aren’t cheap.

    Also, fully agree on the difference between actual armor and crappy lookalikes. I’ve seen and worn plenty of shitty larp armor to know how incredibly annoying they are. I also own a historical replica, and you can do everything in it (except sit on a chair with a backrest).

      For the record, a modern infantryman can’t do that either. Someday we’ll solve that problem!
