I just want to jump in with the fact that a properly fitted suit of armour used to be able to be worn to dances and the knight could spend the entire evening in it with no great reduction of his fine motor functions. If the knight couldn't, he took it back to the armour smith who then either fixed it or made a new piece until he could.

The reason armour feel out of use was because it took time and effort to build up the strength to wear it consistently for an extended period of time, and bullets could punch through plate armour.

Full armour is still a viable option against Grimm, being as it is heavy but Huntsmen are all obviously stronger than average, and it doesn't restrict movement so much that you can't do a full dance in it with intricate footwork.
