I designed mine with the idea of being able to stand all day on a battle field, also to absorb impacts on the armour and distribute the force. An arrow will still hurt when it impacts armour, so common sense would imply that a good subarmalis would add to your protection,and allow you to march and fight in it. I would imagine that while a leather layer might improve waterproofing, any waterproofed cloth or linen would perform the same function. A leather layer on the shoulders to minimize wear is one idea I have been contemplating. I just take what looks like it has logic behind it and adapt it to my needs. Who is to say if it is all that great, but I would like to rely on it if I were a real life legionary!
