ARMOR TERMINOLOGY
Me trying to identify the armor that the Claymores wear.

Pauldron: Laminated armor for the shoulder extending at the front and rear to protect the armpit
Gardbrace: Reinforcing plate attached to the pauldron
Vambraces: Armor for the lower arm
Greaves: Plate armor for the leg from the knee to the ankle, initially only covering the front of the shin, but later made of two hinged plates encircling the lower leg
Sabaton: Plate armor for the foot consisting of lames ending in a toecap
As for the skirt thing - I have no idea.
