u/Particular-Second-84 has given a really good summation of Homeric armour.

If you'd like to read a bit more as to why scholars think the Homeric epics are indicative of Iron Age Greece, rather than Bronze Age Greece, here is a previous thread with answers from u/Tiako, u/KiwiHellenist, and myself.

His descriptions of weapons and armour match those of his own era, although in some cases they are exaggerated for dramatic effect. That’s why one of the characters has a shield that’s said to go down to the ground. Past scholars understood this as a reference to the Mycenaean tower shield, but the shields in the Iliad are always said to be round. That’s why many scholars now agree that Homer was simply exaggerating the reality of his own time, without regard for practicality. That’s also why some of the characters have weapons of gold, silver, and tin, which don’t fit any historical era. The use of bronze weapons is likely not any more historically significant than the gold, silver and tin weapons.

Hans van Wees wrote a fantastic two-part article that examined this subject in detail and argued that Homer’s descriptions firmly match the era between 700 and 650 BCE, albeit in a fantastical setting without regard for practicality.
