I know #1 is a joke but for everyone else in history that's why people wore the aketon, or gambeson or padded/quilted tunic under mail. Provided impact protection and made mail more comfortable!

And the combo of padding + rings was more effective against cutting and blunt weapons than either on their own! And it was easy to maintain, repair, and the mail could be transferred from person to person with some addition or subtraction of rings.

Just all around quality protection.
