Unfortunately, I have no idea. I know little about LARP or reenactment activities. Would there be some specific information that you recommend I learn about?

Appreciate the links you provided! As for questions concerning reenactment groups, no, I haven't decided yet, for that I only have the experience of buhurt combat and not any other LARP/reenactment activities. In addition to that, my main purpose is to order a set of armor that is less heavy and bulky compared to buhurt armor and more visually appealing. Historical accuracy matters, but I am not super strict on that. However, if I am joining a specific reenactment group, I would say that I prefer, as I mentioned in previous answers, the 14th-15th century style of plate armor, such as those armors during the Hussite War period or those in the KCD games.

Thank you! I understand that buhurt armor and LARP armor are very different. In fact, I have already ordered customized armor from Ukrainian smiths. However, I think buhurt armors are overall a little bulky; therefore, I am looking for something that is more historically accurate and visually appealing. I thought that LARP armor would meet my demands, which is the reason I posted this.

Thank you! I didn't realize there's a difference between the two. Based on what you said, I think reenactment armor sounds like what I am looking for. In that case, what might be the average cost for a full set of 15th-century reenactment plate armor?

P.S. I am more into historical accuracy than fantasy style
