Hey, ever wonder how those old knights balanced chainmail and speed—like, could a mail set be light enough to let a courier sprint through a city in the middle of a storm?

Old knights wore chainmail for protection, not for speed—those links would grind in a storm. A courier’s gear is lighter, with a wind‑proof jacket, gloves, maybe a visor. If you put on mail, you’ll get stuck in the rain and still be slower than the wind. Light gear wins.

Right, but if you look at the medieval merchant guilds, they sometimes mixed thin mail with padded sleeves to stay dry and nimble, and that actually helped them out of the rain faster than a full‑plate knight in a storm, so speed isn’t a hard rule—just the way the links are shaped and the gauntlet fits can make all the difference.

Yeah, a few merchants tried it, but you’re still better off with the lightest gear you can manage. Speed’s everything, no matter how it’s wrapped up.
