From about the third century B.C. through the early fourteenth century A.D., mail, also called chain mail, was the predominant and most effective type of body armor known in Europe. From about the mid-fifteenth century onward, mail was used in conjunction with full plate armor to fill the gaps between plates. Separate mail sleeves were made to be worn with a cuirass (breastplate and backplate); shaped panels of mail called gussets, covered the armpits or the crooks of the elbows and were attached to arming jackets, garments specially tailored to be worn under armor; and mail breeches, called brayettes or pairs of paunces, could be worn by men fighting on foot.

Posted a breakdown of the MSV some time ago and I believe it's near it's final stages of how I like it.MSV GEN 2 AXL Equinox Cummerbund-Best cummerbund ever used hands down. VXV Skeletal Grid -Not as good of a solution as AXL's cummerbund retrofit kit but less of a hassle to adjust with side plates and clothing. SKD PIG MOLLE Side Plate carriers-Can be adjusted for height easily and can fit both 6x8 and 6x6 plates. Tac tailor fight light double-Can also fit Hk417 pattern mags when loosened enough. I forgot if it fits a 152. Coyote Tactical Shoulder pads-Not as good at load bearing as AXL's solution. Rubbed my neck raw the first couple of times wearing it but is now pretty great. Midwest armor GP double mag pouch-Apparently it can fit padded inserts for nods. Pretty slick little pouch. Dynamic Principle Placards-Took a minute to get them because I asked for a custom m110a1 insert for a wide placard. Worth the wait, customer service is awesome and quality rocks as well.
