and some armour can't be made thicker and thicker indefinitely and maintain certain characteristics e.g I think Mail can only be made so thick or dense before losing flexibility
But the reality is a human with ST30 will has a ludicrous power to weight ratio, and in real life some bits of breast plates got up to 8-9mm or so. So I think in general the answer is pretty damn thick
