I appreciate the weather is not as hot in england as other parts, but I frequently manage to wear a linen layer, a wool tight layer, another leather/wool padding layer then a chain mail shirt, and the helmet in my avatar picture which is very hot and stifling as well as having trousers on in 30 degree heat for up to a couple of hours at a time and I dont find that a problem, I would love to be able to wear a sleevless chiton with no trousers and just a gambeson it would be so light and breezy in comparison 8)
But I agree all the depictions look laminated as apposed to padded to me.
