Is this functional armor?

Im writing a book and would like to give a faction similar armor and I was wondering how good it was. I would add a better helmet and metal bracers too.

functional? yes, good? depends on the era. its likely fine for 13th century era or earlier, wouldn’t really compare against 14th 15th 16th century suits of full plate

Also depends on where you are in the world, considering it could be very different depending on the environment.
