haaa, so it's several layers.. that's genius ^^
If I'm looking at this correctly, you've got at least 2 layers of 16 oz between yourself and your opponents sword on any major vital area

Thanks!Β  I got the idea after a couple of armor commissions and trying out on them.Β  Yep, in most places there is two layers and in some overlap three of 16oz plates and 5oz Oiled leather for cushioning and absorption.Β  Even though there is more leather on the new one it actually feels less restrictive and allows far greater movement on the waist, which is important in delivering stronger blows.
