Depends on what the armor is made of, what kind of armor it is, and regardless of weight; if it's displaced around the body well enough, some of the weight can be negated.

For instance, I learned that there's a huge difference between letting the pack rest on your lower back and hips vs riding higher on your back - especially when tracking through the field in 80-100 pounds of gear; 6 canteens of water, 6 MRE's, a Prc 77 radio plus crypto gear, maps, yada yada.

You know, they should implement that in games; if you are stronger, you can strafe with heavier loads at a faster rate than someone who is weaker. I think that would be cool.
