I have messed about with mail armor and even with the belt, I can't imagine wearing it day in and day out unless I had too. Throw in a stiflingly hot helmet and that is not going to be a nice day for very long. Even if I was in well made plate, unless I was directly in combat or under orders  I'm taking that helmet off. Heck I hate wearing modern helmets unless   necessary (on a motorcycle, job site or whatever)  Modern armor , kevlar with hard plates like the kind Flamestrike was talking about is rather analogous to a munitions grade coat of plates or a brigadine , in 5e terms scale mail .  Most reenactors , SCADIANS and HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) guys don't use this stuff as far as I cal tell  its not all that nice to wear. Caveat plastic scale was a local new guy cheap  favorite among the SCA guys I met though I didn't join.  I think 5E gets its pretty right stat wise.As far as going to an assignation, it all campaign specific.  In my own world such things range from Faux Ren Faire Fun to life threateningly hazardous.</blockquote>
