This carries the next question: If wizards have all the good stuff,
why do the warriors bother with the tin cans?

Remember also, that you are not living in a war zone. If you found it
"not actually so inconvenient that you won't see it happen when people
have a reason to be wearing the armour in the first place" when at
peace, how inconvenient is it really when an invasion can take place
at any moment?
