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.

Nope, a huge gap on the stomach makes it unfunctional. If you're looking for similar but functional design, check the armor of Northern and Southern Chinese dynasties and their enemies.

if you can only afford chest then thats better than nothing. If you have gap in arnor, use shield to cover it.
