Quote:For a true comparison it is necessary to wear and to work with the two armors. We have made it.Made what? How thick is the leather you are using? How is it tanned? Is it hardened? How much does your leather segmentata weigh? Have you actually tried testing it against any of the most common threats on a battlefield - i.e. arrows and spears. Many of the leather segmentatas I've seen have used leather that is so light that I could stick a pencil through it.
