I Expected lots of clanking. And i got lots of clanking. Couldn't be happier. 10/10

Gosh. I really don't want to sound demeaning, but that video is more a demonstration of why not to buy cheap, mass produced plate armour. The noise, the multitude of large gaps opening all over the armour at the slightest movement and the very fact that he has to catch his breath after doing practically nothing at all just speaks volumes. I'm not very keen on some of the particular features of the design itself. Apart from the fact, that it's not at all historical (which is totally forgivable) some of it just seems impractical, uncomfortable or even dangerous: The huge, strangely shaped pauldrons protect next to nothing despite their size. The breasplate extends too far down and is way too flat, it will catch a hammer or mace blow very easily and posibly cave in. The bevor floating above the breastplate tells me, that its articulation really doesn't work too well.

Is it just me or does this particular set of armor seem rather ill fitting?

Seeing your enemy fully engulfed in metal like that that actually rattles and is impenetrable by most means while you yourself had hardened leather armor or barely any armor at all must have been the most horryfing and terribly pants-soiling sight for anyone to behold

He actually looks like a knight from the middle ages, i am talking about his features. (compliment)

I like my plate armor how I like women. thick.

This armor doesn't seems to have been made to your measurements....

All that clanking can largely be avoided with oiling (metal will slide instead of crash into metal) and small layers of fabric in every joint.

Not enough cowbells for my taste.

it must be very very noisy place on the battlefield back in the day

there is some great comedic value at the start of this video

Man, that is a sweet set of armour, you must be so proud, I've just had a crack at my first breastplate from 16 g mild steel, turned out too small, so I've made some new templates and lets start again, I've worked in all facets of metal fabrication and machining for 20 yrs and I find it challenging, good luck to all who tries this, I think its the most awesome thing someone could make, Cheers and thanks for sharing,Kimbo

I used to have merc tailor plate as well. It's still essentially rack grade but a good place to start to adjust it to you as you can.

Thank you for this incredibly specific video 12 years ago, I needed it to help describe a DnD character's movement in silent woods.

I love the gothic helmets.

Great armor! I really like the sallet and bevor.

those armors were probably like how we hear sirens today.

Sorry this armour is too noisy, I'd say it's not adequately secured or way to many unnecessary bits hanging of it. People it isn't this bad.

I'm assuming this is a mix of Milanese, gothic and other designs of armour from different periods? It explains the clanking, you can move sure, but if the armour isn't designed to fit together, you won't have full mobility. You also seem to have a great deal of weight on your shoulders which could be the cause for the loss of breath, in comparison to fitted matching armour, that said you probably have a lot more mobility than someone in a full set of mass produced anachronistic armour. I'm not an historian though, the armour looks sick :)

the armor looks awesome by the way

Thinking of making a suit of armour out of baked bean cans but by the sound of all that clanking i might give it a miss lol

Man living the life.

where did you get that helmet? it looks really nice

I just imagine myself as a peasant facing a knight / soldier wearing this. This just commands respect.

armor for stealth missions. do you wear earplugs or just coton in ears? nice video, thanks

That is the coolest helmet i have seen in my life. Question: where does weight of that bevor fall upon mostly?

I'm digging the cauch Lance hook on the right chest. so I know it's not historical armor, but is it jousting armor or did some combat armor have those.

If u decide to ever talk to the female gender I would def suggest to NEVER under any circumstances bring up armor. I can't stress this enuf.

challenge of the day, try being stealthy while wearing the armor xD

Looks like a very poorly fitting harness. Such a poor example of how 15th century plate should fit and function.

Im sorry theres so many people who cant understand how freaking cool this is and how skilful you are,

love ur armor dude

Give me five minutes with a tin opener and he'll be begging for mercy. But seriously good armour. Good protection over the back shoulder blades

I have a question I need something to help with the Armour around my neck because my armor cuts into me right around my neck is there something I can make or buy?

haha wow... that's an amazing suit of armor. Looks awesome

Wow, this is awesome!!!

Reminds me of the scene in Garden State when the guy wakes up to the fully armored knight in the kitchen eaten cereal.

That helmet is DOPE

You look almost exactly like the bad guy from The First Knight under the armor

where did you get this armour from ?

neighbors must love that sound..

wow this is really good drawing reference Are there side on shots?

looks nice but makes way too much noise lol, nice vid man :D

badass armour

Jeez, that armour must've been expensive, and heavy :P

U can be have even more mobility, in armor, if its custom made to ur body. Buying armor off the internet usually doesn't produce any positive results.

The clanking seems like something you'd want to limit no? Its hard enough to hear/see properly in plate let alone in a battle without all the extra localized noise in your tin can. :)

What gauge is that armor?

Open multiple tabs of this and get an idea of a clanking army :P

In skyrim I can stealth in that.

how much the armor costs?

Gloves seem to be the most awkward part of full plate so far.

The armor shouldn't be that loud, could be the mic setup and/or the way the straps are poorly tied.

And thats why you dont buy cheap armor.

The armor looks really cool. Now i'm wondering how noisy a duel between two knights could be...

Where did you get that bevor?

would the armor be that noisy? I've seen people wear knights armor and while it is clearly clanky, this guy sounds like he is banging on pots every step he makes.

How easily can you get up from lying on the ground? (film it please!)

Could I ask a question? What area is that armor armor from? At first I though that it was a gothic set from around the 14th century because of the sallet, but then I noticed that there is no fluting and the breast plate almost looks like an Italian breastplate. I have a very rudimentary understanding of armors so if someone could point out which type of armor this is and where it came from I'd be much obliged. Also feel free to correct me on anything I said.

When you loot your armour from a dead knight

when they asked for armor sound effects

Can you actually raise your arm in that armor? Or just sideways?

You can definitely get a nice fitted kit for less than 10k usd

lot louder than id have thought

would make a great human tank in a zombie apocalypse lol

CLANG!!! Berserk 2016 directors take notes

More clang than a berserk 2016 anime series.

Now those are what I call Brienne shoulders !

oh god is sir arthur from ghost n goblins

The mic recording this is set to high and sensitive. Just put headphones on to confirm it. You can hear a terrible buzz even when there is no movement from the guy.

The only thing in my mind the whole video was 'Clink clinck clinck'

So those video games got this wrong, they make no sound when running...LOL

tomas the tank

Dark Souls 4 looks neat

show us some fast moves that would simulate an intense battle. I want to see how agile one can be in that stuff, that's what people wanna see.

I am laughing when i see game with player wearing full plate armor in stealth mode! lol

what are you? Casul? GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS!! BECOME UNSTOPPABLE!!!

Even the medieval haircut!

At first when the video was popping up due to some glitches, I thought there was a fight going on but later he was just alone.

Sorry to say but this armour is nothing like true medieval plate armour, you want an armourer to tailor the armour so that it fits perfectly. This piece in particular while it looks like plate armour represents pretty much none of the historical plate armours out there. Since you have a sallet I assume you were going for a gothic style but everything else just seems off, it's fantasy.

the knight at the start is so lol

You could hear them a mile away I guess..

I HAVE LOTS OF CATFOOD TIN CAN. I THINK I'M GONNA MAKE ME SELF AN ARMOR

Huh, sounds like when I gather all my cans for recycle.

Disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks...

Thats a lawbringer right there...

This is how men should actually dress

Anyone else going to the Kansas City Renaissance Festivals.

how good can you see

Art

1:40 Uuuw... As a knight do this move in a fight and you will fall on the battlefield. For a knight with armor is this deadly without chainmail.

At Agincourt the English butchered the French knights who were armored while the English were not. Trying to move with heavy armor while stuck in mud I guess is almost impossible.

There are many people fighting in full plate for various reasons ( reenactment, as a martial art etc.). The only one I have seen personally was over 50 years ago. The Society for Creative Anachronism, Lord Bright Angel of House Bright Angel. He was a full proffesor at San Diego State and in his 50's. He was slow but invulnerable. The armor did not appear to be the main reason for his lack of speed and was NOT noisy. When people mention properly fitted, what I saw was It. Others there used either non-historical protection or "chainmail" as we called it. Except for Lysandros di Spartaca who had bronze armor (breastplate, greaves, helmet and assorted other pieces) and a bronze short sword. I don't remember if he fought in his bronze or used less expensive protection to actually get hit. I don't remember his real name either.

I know armor is really noisy but it shouldn't be THAT noisy.

filmed in Castle Wolfenstein.

im really freaked out by those brick walls dude, some kind of fucked up optical illusion going on there

Sir Clankalot, How fare thee?

You sound like a busy kitchen and youre likely cooking under all that insulation.

Why would you want to make that moves where you take the weapon up? that is the best way to show all your not armored places, wouldn't it be better to use more compact movements?

PLease subscribe and check out my recent video's at kzfaq.info I was on Tosh.0 Season 11 Episode 5 It is an articulated Sallet. For all these comments, here is a reply I hope will satisfy something. This was me enjoying my interest of life I bought what I could afford. The armor was not made to my size. No, oil does not reduce the sound of clanking. While I had my armor I oiled it after every use and in between uses. The entire suit was oiled, if I did not, rust would develop horrendously. Perhaps research into historically correct information and question can start at myarmoury.com That website is golden as far as historically educated people that know from years of study what the realities were and are. The armor I wore and owned... I watched people joust with equal and worse armor. All my armor, including over five thousand dollars of historical wears were all taken away through a divorce. The armor was hand made by an armorer in New York, though, it was from a pattern and not fitted to me... That would have cost money I did not posses. I had no teachers, internet resources were it for guides. For every comment posted, thank you all for your interest. Let haters hate, I always think and usually say. Opinions are wonderful, though I live my life knowing that I will taste the world without being distracted. And no, I am no sneaker in life, I loved the sound and feeling while being inside of the armor, people did make fun of me and laughed. Heh,' when I was challenged and took my stance, they would charged me and hit the ground. I liked the challenges personally, I had so much fun. I would put it on and walk around my neighborhood regularly, getting ready to wear it around fair all day. And this one day, a little girl on a second story balcony yelled out to me, "Hello Mr. Knight!" it was so cute, and I just felt like... So tearfully happy that I could imprint that kind of unique experience in someone's life... Isn't that the purpose of life, To build the dreams of others? It is to me, Live, Fight, Enjoy, Explore. I have not had my armor for many years now and this past has exemplified one fact... Chivalry is prowess on the battlefield. Well, if your not engaged in modern warfare by your government, you are likely involved in a major spirit (spirit, meaning psychologically emotional) war and have no idea. Fun and happiness have distracted people, that they may become mentally passive and emotionally compromised, as so many take advantage of the weak, that oneself may prosper. That prowess of chivalry is ugly (I do believe of a positive assertiveness of chivalry) the strongest can take what they want and as knights of old, thy had the financial means to equal the political power they possessed as well. Stand for the weak and become chivalrous with your dominance in the defense and support of the downtrodden. The peasants laughed at the knights in those days, however, when a knight was in need, they took what they wanted from those weak, distracted, downtrodden peasants. -Setchra
