The Knights Templar's armor typically consisted of a combination of chainmail and plate armor for protection. They wore a surcoat over their armor, often featuring the distinctive red cross on a white background that symbolized their order. In addition to helmets, gauntlets, and greaves for limb protection, their armor was designed to balance mobility with defense during battles and crusades. The use of heraldic symbols helped to identify individual knights on the battlefield.
