Definitely a more versatile choice. The polearm fight is going to be tough for our character no matter what I suppose.

As far as the armor goes, your mention of the doublet had me thinking of something along the lines of a brigandine? Seems you would want maybe some metal strips sewn or riveted in to protect the heart and other vital areas?

Yeah that would be the other choice that some people favour. A thicker doublet with a brigandine and maybe whatever those shoulder things are called. I thought my idea would be warmer, more weatherproof, a little more protective and perhaps less overtly armour looking.
