Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
#73
Quote:I thought of that, too. On the other hand, leather armor doesn't weigh anything (well, hardly anything) ;-) )
Leather that offers any sort of decent protection weighs more than you think. Leather that offers comparable protection to mail or plate weighs considerably more than mail or plate. That is the whole reason for wearing metal armour in the first place. It is lighter than any alternative.
