Quote:I've seen my father's welder's apron fend off some serious disasters and it's certainly more flexible than the semi-rigid musculata in the Bergama example. My personal experience with this convinces me that you are just wrong on this issue, either that or you have seriously thin-skinned cows in Austrailia. :wink:

Hmmm! I had seen experiment of archery test with some kind of Spaniard padded armor, like a subarmalis, but very thick, the enemy weapon was the californian bow, if I'm not wrong?, I think more stonger than some european, dunno the distant that was shot, but it couldn't penetrated through the human body...
BTW: I would love to demostrate step by step my experiment with very thick leather cow!... in this one I try with a big sharp knife of my wife! :oops: ....It didn't go through, but I will try with a heavy sharp gladius!...But not with this leather hanging in my entretaiment room!, since I will use to another armour... But I see more thicker leather than mine, so in the future let see!...boohahahahaa! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
