| − | Coat of Mail is a generic armor possession that prevents a Man from being overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled. Note that, while being a[Gondor] possession, Coat of Mail can be borne by any Man, including[Rohan] or[Gandalf] Men, similar to The Two Towers[Rohan] possession Heavy Chain.

| − | Less popular than Armor, which prevents multiple wounds per skirmish phase, Coat of Mail did take on new purpose with the introduction of alternate Ring-Bearers in the Reflections expansion. With Boromir, Bearer of Council and Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms introduced, Coat of Mail was a convenient overwhelm prevention against strategies like[Moria] Swarm, "Stupid Swarm," or the "Moria Navy" deck designs.

| − | Boromir, Lord of Gondor has the same text as Coat of Mail, making the card redundant when played on him. That said, Coat of Mail is a popular card to play on Aragorn, ROTN; Aragorn, WTG or Aragorn, Heir of Elendil as they have innate access to the '''!defender +1''' ability.
