Tristain does indeed use heavy armor, a breastplate (covers his torso) greaves, a pauldron on his right arm and bracers. He has a kite shield, and uses a one handed warhammer, though as I said in his post he has also made himself a crude spear. Literally just a branch knocked down and sharpened with a dagger.
