I don't have a source, but I read that well-made full plate weighs about the same as modern day equipment with a full loadout of gear. Modern stuff includes ammunition, med supplies, and rations but the point still stands. Plate armor isn't as bad as carrying a piano or anvil into the battlefield.
Modern kit weighs a ton though,
does make you a lot slower and makes you tire a lot quicker, so this comparison isn't necessarily as favorable (for the "plate is no thang" faction) as people who haven't had to run with said kit may think. Just taking all that stuff off and going for a jog feels like you're flying and could run forever.
