Donning a suit of armor properly takes one minute of time, per weight class of the armor, and assumes you have a person helping. Thus, light armor can be donned in one minute, medium armor in two minutes, and heavy armor in three minutes. Donning armor without a helper takes twice as long, and any modifiers due to the type of armor (such as war plate) are added to those modifiers. | Donning a suit of armor properly takes one minute of time, per weight class of the armor, and assumes you have a person helping.

Most shields require only a move action to equip. War shields, however, require a full round action. You do not require assistance when equipping a shield, but having assistance also does not reduce the time required to equip the shield. | |||
