They should add a mechanic that allows you to design your own Armor from a series of presets. Start with a cuirass or chestplate and add things like pauldrons and armpieces. Starting with metal will make it heavy and starting with leather or moonstone pieces will keep it light. Adding lots of plate and heavy metal pieces will give lots of protection but it be heavy. Keeping with leather and being conservative will be limiting in protection but it will stay light. This could all be done at a blacksmith's forge for example.
