Or you could assign weight per item/area covered (not that weight itself 
is what makes armor so restricting), find a total, and then match it to 
the weights of the existing armors in the system.  For example, if my 
total is less than 7 kg (but greater than 0 kg), my penalty is -1 adjDX, 
just like cloth; 8 kg is -2 adjDX, just like leather, and so on.  For you 
Fantasy Hero gamers out there, the conversion is particularly simple.
