Wool was used for the tunics and cloaks. A quilted woolen under-tunic was sometimes worn beneath the soldier's armor. Metal, in segments or in chain mail was used for the armor, metal for the helmet, leather for the boots. Soft wool was used for the neck scarf used to prevent the armor from chaffing the neck.
