Which parts of the body could mail sleeves, hoods, and leggings protect?

In the context of medieval armour, mail was a versatile form of defense used to protect various parts of the body.12

• Mail Hoods: These were designed to cover the head and neck. Often worn under a helmet, they provided essential protection for the throat and head, sometimes featuring a face opening similar to a modern ski cap.123
• Mail Sleeves: These protected the arms. By the 11th century, the sleeves of a knight's mail shirt (or byrnie) were extended to cover the area from the upper arm down to the wrist. By the 13th century, armourers developed the skill to create fine-mesh mail that could also protect the hands in the form of mittens or complete gloves.231
• Mail Leggings: Also known as chausses, these were used to cover the legs and feet. By the 12th century, it became common for mail to be fitted to the legs and feet to provide comprehensive lower-body defense.421

These components were often worn in conjunction with padded undergarments, such as a gambeson, to cushion the wearer against the shock of blows.13
