It seems a little presumptive to say that Faramir's armor is better because it is lighter. One could turn this argument around by saying that because Faramir's armor is lighter, it is less protective, and therefore he would be killed more quickly. It is leather and padded cloth, after all.

It is true that Boromir's armor would be heavier, but also true that it would definitely stand up to the slashes of orc swords than Faramir's.

If you were an orc, which one would look easier to kill?
