Hi reenactors,
I've been reading the article "Cavalry Equipment and Tactics on the Euphrates Frontier" by A. D. H. Bivar. On page 278 he mentions that one of the advantages of mail armour over other types could be that in hot climates it would be cooler to wear. What are your experiences? In a hot sunny day, is the lorica hamata significantly cooler to wear than segmentata or squamata? Or is the difference rather small?
Greetings
Alexandr
