Why is armor so expensive?
Are their any cheap kits for beginners or no?

The cheap way is to build it yourself. It's time consuming so most people choose to pay someone else to do it.

It's niche labor-intensive athletic safety equipment. If you want safety and mobility and somebody else to build it for you it's not going to be cheap. You can choose to compromise on any of these points if you want to spend less money.

In a similar vein to this anon, I’m interested in non financially ruinous options if they are to be had. I’ve been looking at this historicum tinycorn starter set
https://historicum.pl/product/budget-set-tinycorn/
Looks nice enough, funny name for sure but pretty good price, made in Poland I believe (trying to avoid pajeet plate) but I’ve yet to get any experienced opinions on which starter sets are the best deals.
Any tips or recommendations from the experienced crowd?
