Credit to when its good, the only quality of armor i can remember on top of my head is the ones Galadriel used, with the exception of the one going to her chin, quite realistic and functional (the nonsense is how the numenorians had one elven plate armor for her there though).
His outfit seems to me like cosplay, his helmet don't even look like tis fitting right.
I also don't understand the pick on scales in the armor, maybe because it was easy to fake with the printing
If you are paying attention to the show, you could see easily, but i doubt many people were actually doing so, or just sleeping/zooning off.
You don't need to zoom it to see it, you can see in the episodes, the combat armor also show plenty of times is fabric/printed
