Well, I could understand the need for skimpy armor.
Having worn various suits of armor, platemail, scale, chainmail, wicker banded mail, etc, I think they all suck toe personally.
I have worn some great suits of plate. And some not so great as mentioned. Under all the leather, padding, chainmail, etc, all the underarmor, you sweat buckets. I mean rivers of sweat actually pour from your body. It's hot and itchy. It's like being inside a steam bath or a suana. There is NOTHING sexy about a knight in shining armor. You stink. BAD. You get helmet hair. You think wearing a 20 pound great helm will make you look attractive? Hell no. With 20 pounds of iron or steel on your noggin, you start turning into a hunchback. And with that helmet in place, you get a whiff of just how SOUR you smell. It pinches, as I have mentioned. Any woman wearing plate mail is not sexy either. They don't smell like a summer's eve or baby powder, or Channel #5 or what ever a woman usually smells like. A woman takes on the smell of a sampler platter from Captian Jacks Crab Shack left out in the sun for far to long. It's actually worse for a woman.
I don't care if you are a man or a woman. If you just got undressed from wearing full plate, you aint sexy.
