Actually well-made plate armor weighed less then our current modern infantry soldier gear, which, if you recall, women do wear. It was also better distributed. People in plate armor had to be able to duck, roll, jog, and fight for lengthy amounts of time.
Based on the time I spent in military service and my general knowledge of the topic, what actually had weight to it was the backpack. And you don't fight with the backpack on. Everything else was just cloth, and pockets filled with say a small shovel, a gas mask, clips etc. Even combining all those and then some (say the body armor we often used), I still doubt it would come close to even the weight of chain mail, let alone plate.
