Not really. Armor acts as a heat-sink, and as long as it has a mirror polish it will work to reflect light much more than a satin or matte finish. The kit also has pretty good circulation if built right. Heat is a problem in armor, but not nearly as much as many think. I live in Florida, and even then when I have heavy kit on I don't start to suffer any negative symptoms from heat until after prolonged intense physical activity, when I haven't been hydrating properly, and when there is no breeze.
So? Renn Faires are where a bunch of people who have no idea what they are talking about like to show up and spread misinformation. The last time I want to one, there were literally only two stands where the people there cared about truthful history. And don't even get me started on the people to go to them, a whole bunch of nerds in silly biker leather and a whole lotta furries. Not a single person there had a high-quality, authentic plate harness like what you see in the content. 0/10 I wish America had more living history events.
then you go to the wrong faires. mine is very authentic with a little bit of fantasy. its actually called the Renn. and Fantasy Faire. its really well done and has some historians as founding members. its the best ive ever been to but it has down sized
Naw, if it were a larper he would be wearing crappy biker leather armor, and would likely be wearing a furry mask. This guy is wearing a $10-30k authentic plate harness.
