In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 58):
Brigandine is suddenly much heavier than it was... used to be metal plates on light leather or worn over a light gambeson. Layering armor was common.
OK Checked Low Tech and the lighter version is there ... but is considered TL 4
TL 4 Light Brigandine DR 3 $900 10 Lbs.
At TL 2 and 3 you have to use the heavier Jack of Plates, same DR and only $300 but weight is 18 Lbs.
It's actually LIGHTER than it should be.
Base DR of Brigandine is 3, using the Heavy Plate option means each +1 DR is $450 and 5 lbs.
The DR 5 version should cost $1800 and weigh 20 lbs.
It's actually a good deal.
EDIT:
Oddly the Body version is correct but the Legs location is not.
