I wonder how heavy the armor actually is since it isn't full plate.
Depends. A solid average to go by would be around 30kg or 65 pound for a full set of oo-yoroi, but weight will obviously vary as each set is tailored to the wearer. The oo-yoroi is likewise only something for high-ranked samurai, lower ranked samurai armor was typically lighter as it consisted of less components (mostly less blinged out and a fewer plated armor parts).
And then there's stuff like what Date rolled around with, armor thick enough to guard against the early firearms during the Sengoku period, which is obviously much heavier.
