Wellas, it's been a long time coming, but it's finally here. I'm expanding my target market to people who have organs and wish to protect them, which is why today is my completed treadplate body armor video. I've replaced all fabric and foam with gen-you-wine leather, upgraded the back, and added side armor. Very epic, as I'm sure you guessed.

I am not gonna lie, I've seen a lot of tread plate armor today and was thinking this was going to be a big waste of my time. However after watching I realize these just might be the best I've seen all day.

Even the Game Grumps, who I love dearly, there are spans of time where I just won’t watch their videos.

Shin and Head protection are probably more important at this level of protection. Chest cavity protection is good against guns but in a melee you are more vulnerable at the heads and lower legs.

I’ve run into the conundrum of not knowing how to armour the corners of limb joints without A) going excessive on the inner corners and B) not making all sorts of gaps or else using just too much resource. If next you could make a video for limb joint armouring, that would be pretty badass.

Sixteen guage mild steel plate would be more than enough to stop anything that isn't coming out of a gun, but the untreated leather wouldn't give much protection against say, a man with a knife and a bone to pick with you. I guess if you have sufficient padding underneath it wouldn't be the end of the world, but it would've been a pretty bad day.
