But the fact is that leather is not a bad armour and Faramir would proberbly have a shield and if not he would be able to move quick and use his sword.

As for Bormir sure he could take quit many hits compared to Faramir, but he would have trouble reaching his fighting potential becourse of the limitede movment his armour would allow him. (allso making him an easyer target for accured hits as he would move slow) He would also grow tired quite quickly and easyer to kill.

That is why plated armour was only used on cavalery in the medieval days, but halt this is turning in to a historical discution.
