"and due to it's nature it spread's it's wight across the body evenly so it's less tiring." Calling bullshit on that. A hauberk places 100% of the weight on the shoulders, slightly less if you have a solid belt around your waist. Plate is way more distributive. "Better than nothing" against spears and stabs is also pretty bullshit. Solid, period half-riveted half-solid chainmail is an absolute pain to pierce, especially with the gambeson behind it. There's accounts of knights running around on foot with dozens of arrows sticking out of their chainmail a-okay. --75.172.85.9 06:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
