Most people don't really know how real armour looks. of course there is the full plate version, but that one was typically for cavalery.

The majority of armour types used through the ages were not full body covering (as that shit was expensive), and other then protecting your hips and shins, not a lot was put on the legs due to the simple fact that if an enemy attacks your legs it's not only easy to avoid the blow, he is also exposing his neck to you (so few were dumb enough to do this). Plus you also wanted to be able to move your legs properly.

So the profile image is actually pretty close to how real armour would look, apart from the shoulders (huge shoulder pads = you cant lift your arms).
