Are you allowed to have Black Adder sized codpieces? At full salute?
If it's LARP safe and I don't see what not haha. Some of the real ones are even more obnoxious
A real LARP player with honor and love to this hobby dont use Plastic or Aluminium.
This has always seemed a weird place to draw the line. Sure fake swords are fine, but armor has to be real. It's ok to wear garb that has been machine stitched, but aluminium instead of steel is all wrong. I've never quite been sure why there is a hardcore devotion to real armors when everything else is fake. If you are doing re-inactment instead of LARP, sure, I get that, but otherwise the boundary seems so arbitrary.
@@whaddonutube To be fair I'm not sure I'd call larp armor real either.
@@LowEffortDucks OK fair critique. Shoulda said "...but armor has to be made of specific substances."
@@whaddonutube well, plastic and aluminium armor stand out like a orange warning west in a goth disco.
the same goes for super light larp armor pieces, wich bend and dent easily.
Cheap Larp Armor (also the ones from Mytholon, in german they are nicknamed Mülltholon -> Müll = Trash) wears bad and looks bad.
Look at a cheap larp plate armor and compare it to a proper one worn. you immediately see the differences, the cheap one sits bad, does not fit properly, does not have articulations, often hip and waist are really badly cut and hinder movement, the chestplate is too wide etc etc.
you immediately see that cheap armor is cheap.
when you want to wear full plate and want to look good in full plate.... that needs a proper investment
@@zhufortheimpaler4041 First, where some armors stand out as poor, not all. Foam armors, aluminium chainmail, etc. can all look pretty great, especially in fantasy stetings, but the rules of most games I've ever seen talk about materials, not looks. Second, I'm not sure that answers the issue. Boffers in LARP can look like nothing more than black or red sticks, but in those same games they require real steel plate for full armor points.
