Several Questions on Mail Armor

Thanks for your opinions.

1) So basically it doesn't need a separate voice; it may be Heavy Mail or Jousting Mail, depending the size/thickness of rings and the rigidity of weave.

2) Yes, it resemble a brigandine but it doesn't seem rigid as a true brigandine, so I would see this as "Mail and Plates" or even as "Scale Mail" (signed in Loadouts - Low Tech Armor: DR 5* / DR 3* vs crushing, 16 lbs, $ 2000)

3) I agree with Railstar. The "Cheap" option seems reasonable.

4) I partially agree with Anthony. This solution is good for fitting lighter Mail and Plates. I've seen some Persian and Indian mail an plates armor that may have DR 6 (very large plates, probably thicker than small plates of other mail and plates hauberks).

5) Yep. If heavy mail sleeves are possible, then it's fine.
