Buhurt drippy plate kit idea
Hi all
For context I am 6ft and 89 kg with a medium build. (And I like two handed weapons).
I was just coming up with a plan for my first buhurt kit and wanted to get some feedback from some more experienced people. A lot of the kits I was seing are more competitive and practical focused with a lot of wolfrib, spalettos and square looking brigandine.
Its not that these don't look rad but im just a sucker for full plate. I initially was looking at a churburg style harness as it gives me the metal cuirass with the metal skirt and would allow me to wear my favorite helmet(whole other bag of fish). But when I looked at some full churburg kits I realized the arm protection is often pretty rubbish and gives me a pretty good chance of getting my shoulder popped off. And example of one I was looking at in image 1 was here:

This made me look at later italian harnesses because they give big lobster shoulder protection whilst still getting close to a churburg style cuirass. Like the guy in image 2s kit (significantly more expensive).
Finally on to the helmet... I have heard the the houndskull is incredibly impractical for buhurt because you nose is one big lever with will just get abused in grappling. However I would by willing to trade competitiveness for drip as long as it is actually safe to use. My concern with the helmet would be getting my neck broken if someone shoved my head up too fast or my body for some reason could not rotate in the direction my head is being rotated. I've attached an image of a helmet i think looks class but is the definition of impractical.

My main question would be less about the armours practicality as i know it's not sport optimized but more if it is even usable/safe. I'm not hyper competitive but I would like to have the ability to do buhurt and not be a professional sandbag.
I appreciate any advice.
