Too hard to move around in and it was heavy. If a knight wearing full armour was knocked off his horse or was felled for some reason he couldn't move. To be put on a horse he had to be lifted on to the horse. The helmet also didn't allow for the full range of view so in a fight this would limit him. Finally, it was expensive to purchase.
