[Ansteorra] Leatherworking question

[Cynthia Sebolt]

Greetings!

While I don't know anything about plastic armor - the leather shouldn't 
shatter when exposed to cold weather or rough handling. If it's been 
impregnated with a coating (beeswax, resin, glue, etc.) - those can 
react to weather conditions and cause surface cracking, but not 
shattering that I'm aware of. Leather itself can rot, which will affect 
the tensile strength - this usually causes tearing, not shattering.

I leave it to others for information about the Kydex.
