  Surcoat   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Surcoats first appeared across Europe during the crusades and were thought to have been designed to keep the hot sun off the knight's armor.
Since surcoats remained popular in the colder climates of Europe following the crusades, many historians maintain the original purpose of the surcoat was to protect the intricate chain mail from water and dampness (rust would devastate a suit of chain mail armor).
The surcoat was slit to the waist in the front and back for convenience while on horseback and usually bound at the waist with a belt or cord.
