Is the Aketon in your "European crusader" write up that Rasna cites, basically just the exception that proves the general rule?

(Leaving aside the point that at DR1 this is the lowest possible protection a thing can have in GURPS terms, so it's really the least thick and cumbersome a padded shirt can get in the system and still be armour! And in reality everything is on a scale, and not hard and fast RPG system based cut offs!)
