Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyYou might as well complain about stuff like your characters moving around in normal speed wearing plate armor.
!NERD FACTS!

Actually, people could walk perfectly normally while wearing a set of plate mail. They could even dance, swim, and mount a horse wearing the stuff. The weight was distributed across the body, rather than concentrated in one place like a heavy backpack or something similar, so it wasn't all that difficult to move around in.

The biggest problem with plate mail isn't the the weight, it's the heat, and the chafing. They didn't have balms and baby powder back then, either. It was a hellish time to live.
