How long does it take to put on armor anyway? In this video I will time myself putting on armor at the 'normal' pace without trying to rush or intentionally stopping to explain things as I go. The results actually surprised me!

Why no backplate? Because it's the late 14th century! They're still relatively uncommon and a coat of mail is a perfectly suitable and well documented back defense for this time period. Fighting in formations of men-at-arms also doesn't present the back to your enemy nearly as much as one might think. If you'd like to learn more about the development of back armor, here you go:
