They weren't nearly as stiff as Hollywood would have you believe. (Though if you ended up on your back, it's still a bugger to try to get up. Those suits are heavy) Well I was more referring to the fact that heavier armor of that caliber slows the user down and tires them out quicker then regular clothes. Still, that it an interesting tidbit which I did not know.
