Can you tell me where the armours are housed today? I will be at the Visby medieval week in August, and hope to see some of these if they are in the town museum.
Still hammering away

Most of the armour and skeletal remains are kept at the Historiska museet in Stockholm, but there's also a nice exhibition about the battle at Gotlands museum in Visby.

Those Visby suits of armour look impressive. I wonder if they can be reproduced.

Apparently, this guy, who lives near Visby, makes reproductions of them: http://www.hoashantverk.se/hantverk/hoas_rustningar/index.html

I found that website a few years ago--I quite like the look of some of his repos, and I appreciate that he has people actually modeling them, with pictures from different angles. It really gives a good sense of scale, and how/wear the armor actually sits on a person (what is covered, ideas about mobility, thickness, sizing, etc...)
