Except ring is noisy

How can something that doesn't exist make noise? ;) Sounds like a Nysalor Koan.

But assuming Ring Armor does existing in Glorantha it might not be all that noisy. All we know is that rings were sewn to a leather backing, but not how big or how widely spaces the rings are, or if they overlapped or were interlinked. If it is just leather/cloth with a few bits of metal sewn on to stop a cutting weapon, then it could be quiet.

and linen problematic in the wet or extremely hot environments.

It seemed to work out okay in Greece. It couldn't be too problamtic or it would get ruined by perpiration. I think the treatment they gave it to stiffen it also helped to waterproof it.

Agree, Coat of Plates always strikes me as a very doable armor.

It is/was. When I was working of expanding the armor protection in Pendragon to include a few more of the transitional armors the problems weren't that these armors weren't good, but that they wasn't a lot of wiggle room to fit them in between mail and plate. It's a lot like modern computer components with a slightly better upgrade coming out every so often.
