History / medieval knights | | English term or phrase: mail | as opposed to armor
Znaci armor je oklop, a mail su tanke ploce od lima ili vec cega zahvaljujuæi kojima vitez moze lakse da pomera glavu i ruke, ali je i ranjiviji nego kada nosi klasicni oklop:
as a Thirteenth Century historian, I've still got an affection for mail because armor looks extremely sort of cumbersome and expensive, is it, it really is better is it? |

Explanation:
nisam sigurna, ali ovih dana sam citala neku knjigu o vitezovima i bas su navlacili na sebe (ne samo na glavu, nego na tijelo) vizire koji mogu biti od plocica ili od alkica

Explanation:
Tako nekako. Na dolje navedenom linku imate sliku i detaljni opis (dio je prekopiran dolje).
Na drugom linku je u sredini mail ("pleteni" oklop, da se tako izrazim), a na krajevima oklop od "punog" metala.
"The main type of body armour in Anglo-Saxon times was mail. The term 'chainmail' not being coined until the 1700's. Mail of the period was made by cutting thin strips of iron from a piece of sheet, or drawing iron wire through a draw-plate, and winding this around a cylindrical former. It was then cut off with a chisel to form the links. The links would then be compressed so that the ends overlapped."
