Siberian bear-hunting armor from the 1800s
This scary-looking armor was used somewhere around the 1800s to hunt bears. A commenter on the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation message boards describe the so-called hunting process: “I suspect it is more likely to be for bear bating than hunting since I can’t imagine anyone could run around the woods in it. It consists of leather pants and jacket (and an iron helmet) studded all over with 1-inch iron nails about 3/4 in. apart. The nails are held in place by the second layer of leather lining the whole thing and quilted into place between the nails.”
Wouldn’t want to be a bear and stumble across something like this. If that’s not your cue to run, I don’t know what is!
