As most of the pictures show no leg or arm protection what recommendations would you all have for making a Jack of Plates/burgonet kit SCA legal? hidden knees and elbows under the venetian ?

Well Border raids is over and what an event…. The Bad: 1. The Heat!!! UGH that kind of humid hot where you sweat buckets doing anything and sweat buckets more just sitting doing nothing! The heat index for Sat was, I believe 112deg! They called off the third fight due to half the armies falling o...
