And in combination with maile a padded armour is great. T(h)rust me! We actualle tried to stab thru a thin gambeson toped with a butted maile and a armingjack of cotton and linen (aceton) closley fitted onto a sheep carcass with a sharp rondell and a sharmened lutel sword and a sharp spearhead (though on a to short shaft.) The rondel passed twice in ten tries (with effort) and the other two didn´t.
On a show I let my friend thrust at me with his semisharp lutel when wearing that stuff and I was not badly injured. Had a bruise though. But not as blue as the ones from waistersparring. hehe.
Just my two cents.
