It's ok to use any armor whatsoever. I'm so resigned to seeing the armies of people wearing a mask/giant's armor at this point that I just don't care anymore.

Elite Knight Armor is almost literally the definition of middle of the road, and even the full set doesn't give enough poise to eat a zweihander swing without staggering. I wouldn't worry about it.
