wearing armor as an archer seems a rather dumb idea for basically two reasons:
archers are a suport class(you're basically sniping enemies around, away from the heat of close combat)
being lightweight helps you focus your strenght on more precise, powerful arrows.
with this being said, it seems that leanign backwards to shoot, while wearing that armor would eventually make you trip. you'd rather bent your knees to balance your weight and use your whole torso to aim(specially considering that archer seems to be using a longbow)
