What were you intending to say here? Are the Vikings on the show are more armored than they're supposed to be? Because you go on to compare the guys on the show to the Celts and say that the Celts didn't wear armor. That would make it accurate, no? Are you saying that they're wearing less armor than they should be? Because after that, you said that they wear mostly leather and some chain if they looted it. And that's also how it's depicted in the show.

No, they wore padding, and if available chain. Not thin leather. You know, like thick padding? In the show though, they mostly wear yes leather or nothing at all. This was something mainly the Celts did (not always), according to ancient battle accounts. And the Romans did, but only on the flank side (retreat could get you executed). You see a little armor in the show, but mainly among the leaders/main characters, while the rest mostly nekid (peasant clothing, thin leather, bare skin etc).
