and on other hand is criminally underutilized and crapped on in RPGs just because it was cheaper to make and thus used by common soldiers ... except as Skall accurately put it, the brigandine was the next best thing to full plate armor while being MUCH less restrictive than full plate and weighting a hell of a lot less too

@Knoloaify

You have to bear in mind that brigandine wasn't used alone, so you can't compare it to full plate since it could also be used with a plate kit for the more wealthy soldiers and even nobles who had their own state-of-the-art brigandine. Also it really doesn't seem that lighter than a cuirasse, I mean instead of a steel plate it's a bunch of iron plate covering the same amount of surface but studded to leather/cloth, that doesn't sound like it would be much lighter.

The plates of the Brigandine overlap and cause the additional weight compared to a single breastplate & backplate. So full plate weights less if both made out of the same metal gauge.

Skall, and everyone who reads, i have to say. For what it delivers, this armor is EXTREMELY overpriced. Yes, this is quite decent stainless steel, it is decently made, and the fabric base is made quite well. There are quite a few flaws with it. First, it had limited protection from the side, and the collar bone is EXTREMELY exposed. Secondly, the fitting is lackluster to say the least. It has literally no taper at the waist, which is necessary for ease of movement. Third, it is very short. It protects very poorly against strikes that are lower than the belly button. Fourth, there is no fitting for the back. The armor can be worn from both sides, whereas historically accurate(and proper sporting stylizations) are supposed to be worn one way only with reinforced plates on the back. Lastly, as I mentioned before, COST. Right now it costs 1500$. HOLY WATERMELONS IS THAT A LOT FOR A SUIT OF ARMOR THAT ONLY PROTECTS THE TORSO AND IS NOT REALLY COMFORTABLE. You will not feel it while standing or walking, but as soon as you spar, come problems. You feel like you are in a barely mobile iron box. The restrictions are deadly, proper brigandine armor should not restrict movement at all or barely. If you want to buy something really good in terms of sporting quality-Steel Shop is a VERY good option. A Wimbledon-style brigandine costs 150-240$, has precise fit, excellent taper, FUCKAWESOME steel and does not restrict movement at all. It is located in Russia, so you may have to pay a lot extra to have it delivered to Europe, but is is worth your money. If you want historical accuracy, it is up to you, as all shops have different good and bad sides. Steel Shop's is that they use synthetic fabric as inner base for their armor. Upper layer is wool however, so it is not noticeable. I may give you a link to their shop if you want to

Very good video. I like the brigandine, and may have to acquire one. I already have a lorica segmentata, which seems to provide equivalent protection, and practically identical weight. The shoulder/collarbone protection seems a little better for the lorica, and bending at the waist pushes the lower segments up, but then gravity brings it back down immediately. Throwing a pilum or javelin requires you to throw almost sidearm, due to the overlapping plates on the shoulder. I don't know if you've done a video with the lorica segmentata, but I think it would be an interesting one. Thanks for making educational and very entertaining videos!

I really really appreciate every armor reviews you cover up now that I can see the inside that usually can't be seen. I knew I can just searched up on google if I wanted to see the inside but they are all images! With this format being 3d and moving while you explained it I can better understand them. So ya, thanks again.

Thank you all for the replies! I did some more searching and have found a few images that look to be historical pieces or in the very least reproductions of a historical design with larger plates in the chest and sternum area both multiple and singular plate variants.

I'm very excited that you eventually get & test the most common but also misunderstanded armor in Middle Age. I comprehend that it is a quite expensive gear, however, I do really hope u can test it with windlass crossbow similar as your previous test on lamellar & Solid plate armor.

Brigandine can be used in combination with spaulders to protect the shoulders, vambraces to protect the forearms, gauntlets, gorget to protect the neck and a helm for the head. Include greaves and you have armor for a foot soldier or man-at-arms.

Hopefully Armstreet will take into consideration your review and issues with the forward motion of your shoulder pivot being unable to effectively use your arms at a 90 degree angle directly in front of you. I also agree with the use of straps. I have a feeling they went with lacing to cut down their own costs. If they fix the arm rotation issue with later versions it would definitely improve the use of that model.

Lamellar is scales without backing. This is brigandine, with metal scales riveted to a coat. (and to round it out, scale armor is usually considered to be scales over a backing) Studded armor is gygax & co. misinterpreting the rivets on brigandine as somehow actually improving the leather's ability to deflect an attack, not as attachment points. So calling a brigandine "studded armor" is a joke. Now that I've officially killed the joke, I hope it was actually informative to do so.

The shaping is terrible. There's no trifoil pattern on the rivets (depending on the date it might not be a problem). You mentionned the laces instead of straps, the plates don't overlap on the sides and shoulders because of that. The only good thing is that the plates seem to overlap under the fabric.

For that price i expect that to be battle ready.

I have a personal love for Brigandine, they generally just look amazing, and as you say, cheaper to make and not as precise in size, but still offers good protection.

I enjoyed the prologue of the book. Looking forward to reading more of it I've got 25 minutes of a sample left

1300... I could buy a cuirass for that much.

Yes, the Cuirass from age of craft is the same price.

Don't know about the quality of the manifacturing but it's not historically accurate for both shape and lacing. It depends on what century you are looking at, but in the XV century (as the survivals you show) brigandines had roughly the same shame of plate harness. For that price Age of Craft ones look more historical accurate. And btw it was used by common soldiers but olso men at arms

I've seen a few historical barrel chested ones. but it had a better overall shape that Skall already pointed out wrong with this one. The top of the shoulders looks so uncomfortable.

It's similar to the Korean armor layered with animal hide, leather, silk and iron scales underneath for more protection. Also, it's very mobile and easy to wear from what I heard. Very interesting Skall.

one of your better videos good job :)

The lacing on the side is much more adjustable for different body sizes and shapes, so historical garments for women often laced that way to allow it to still fit during pregnancy. If mass producing armor, side lacing could make the same piece fit more customers.

I don't think the ax had much of an edge on it. If it HAD, the cloth over the plates would have shown some result of it, i.e. tears or small slices. What's referred to as "battle damage"

It really depends on what kind of hit you take and how precise it is. I've had matches where I got kicked squarely in the balls, *knew* it was going to hurt, but went on for another two minutes without issue only to crumple as I was walking off the mat after shaking the opponent's hand. On the other hand, I've had sparring sessions where I took a good liver shot and no matter how amped up I was, I couldn't keep from doubling over. Adrenaline _definitely_ increases your ability to shrug off blows that would have been debilitating if you were just standing next to your friend at a party and he decided to jab you in the ribs.

Skall, with all these armours, that seem to be so effective against swords, why did people bother wearing them in battle? Can a swordsman pose any threat? Is there a consistent way of defeating armour with a sword?

I imagine you should look for gaps in the armour, and mainly thrust. That`s what I hear everyone say, but the reason why I asked the question in the first place is because it seems to be so difficult to do that in the heat of battle.

My understanding of brigandines is that a lot of them were front closed so a common man could put it on with little help.

Kingdom come deliverance has taught me a lot about armor! Especially brigandine!

The steel's color never cease to leave me in awe.

The fact that it doesn't tapers on the natural waist makes it look cheat and crappy. And aye, most of it's issues come from the lack of it. And, I'm thicker than Skall and I can still fir a waisted armour piece, almost anyone can, we don't tend to accumulate fat in that line unless one's really obese.

Wonder when Skall will be able to get a full suit of plate...

We should make a fundraiser

If you put on a belt and cinch it tight it takes pressure off of the shoulders and may allow more efficient arm movement. It may also help with the turn up / roll-up on the bottom. The belt will also give you a touch of the classic wasp-waist look.

Probably equivalent to any other breastplate or even "banded mail" when worn with arm and leg protection. Or you could go the other route and say, studded leather exists because Gygax & co saw a brigandine and didn't know what it was, so it's studded leather.

@Slayerlord13

But unlike studded leather, a brigandine also has a bunch of plates. So it should be higher AC than studded leather in my opinion.

Studded leather doesn't exist. Gygax saw a brigandine, didn't realize there were plates inside, and came up with studded armor as an explanation for what he saw. It's entirely fictional.

I have to say that I like the look of the brigandine Shadiversity featured recently (the red one). It looks like a better made piece than this. Easier to put on and better range of motion. But thanks for reviewing this one. I really like this kind of armor and it would probably be my personal choice for reenactment.
