I have slight autism and and wondering if going medieval with plate armor in SHTF, EDC, or Boar hunting? My great grandpa wore knight armor into battle, and maybe putting it under a plate carrier would work.

Metal armor was phased out when they figured out when they figured out how to make flexible materials with better tenacity and resistance to impact.

Plate armor fucking sucks to wear unless it's something thin and therefor not at all practical for anything other than looking cool as fuck with. I've worn a curiass, it sucked. But I looked like the baddest dude around, and that's what gives you the inspiration to keep wearing it until you actually have to do something with it on. Then you just instinctively take it off.

It's like you people actually want to survive the final war or something.

Who know, this might get a revive when power armor becomes viable.

Plate armour really isn't that heavy, but it does restrict your movement somewhat. Honestly I'd just go with a UHMWPE vest. If you need more than that, get a plate carrier. If you're super autistic, make a UHMWPE bodysuit like the North Hollywood shootout guys (though I think they used Kevlar). From the research I've done, a satin weave is probably best.
