Ave, everyone,
I have to agree with Graham as, I having done my service is the U.S. Navy, I had to be able to swim, jump into the water from approximately 60 ' up,(simulating jumping from the side of an aircraft carrier), and stay afloat for 10 minutes fully dressed. It just might be that the few minutes leather armorkeeps one afloat is just enough to grab on to a piece of debris inn the water.
Something we all need to keep in mind with regards Hollywood, They NEVER use boiled leather (see my note above vis a vis "Gladiator". Speaking of crazy Hollywood armor, check out the armor Bruckheimer put "King" Arthur in.......LOL.
Richard, once I get the money to have Matt Luke make me a Steel musculata, I might have aleather copy made. In the mean time, I if I can get a decent deal on a premade one, I'll get it.
Salve,
Vitruvius.............aka Larry Mager
